Chlorosyl fluoride is an inorganic compound of chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula F−Cl=O. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Synthesis

• Partial hydrolysis of chlorine trifluoride in diluted gas phase at low temperatures. ^[4]
• Reaction of chlorine trifluoride with nitric acid. ^[4]

Chemical properties

Chlorosyl fluoride is thermolabile and disproportionates to ClF and FClO₂ : ^[4]

2 FClO → ClF + FClO₂

2 FClO → 2 ClF + O₂
