Oxygen fluoride

Oxygen fluorides are compounds of elements oxygen and fluorine with the general formula O_nF₂, where n = 1 to 6. Many different oxygen fluorides are known:

Oxygen monofluoride (OF)
Oxygen difluoride (OF₂)
Dioxygen difluoride (O₂F₂)
Trioxygen difluoride or ozone difluoride (O₃F₂)^[1]^[2]
Tetraoxygen difluoride (O₄F₂)^[3]
Pentaoxygen difluoride (O₅F₂)
Hexaoxygen difluoride (O₆F₂)^[4]
Dioxygen monofluoride or fluoroperoxyl (O₂F)

Tetraoxygen difluoride

Oxygen fluorides are strong oxidizing agents with high energy and can release their energy either instantaneously or at a controlled rate. Thus, these compounds attracted much attention as potential fuels in jet propulsion systems.^[5]
