Lithium hypofluorite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of Li O F. It is a compound of lithium, fluorine, and oxygen. [1] [2] [3] This is a lithium salt of hypofluorous acid. [4], and contains lithium cations Li+ and hypofluorite anions −OF.
Synthesis
The salt theoretically results from the neutralization of hypofluorous acid (HOF) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH). It can be formed by the action of fluorine on lithium hydroxide:
- 6 F2 + 6 LiOH → 2 LiF + O2 + 4 LiOF + 6 HF
Chemical properties
The compound is quite unstable, since it contains oxygen in the oxidation state of 0. It, therefore, tends to decompose to lithium fluoride and oxygen gas:
- 2 LiOF → 2 LiF + O2
