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.^{[dubious – discuss]}

Synthesis

[edit]

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:

HOF + LiOH → LiOF + H₂O

Chemical properties

[edit]

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
