New Route to the Synthesis of Difluorodioxirane from FC(O)OF

7 Oxygen, sulfur, selenium and tellurium

“…The reaction between ionised ozone, O 3 ϩ , and dinitrogen has been followed by Fourier-transform ion cyclotron and has been prepared by the decomposition of FC(O)OF (a potentially explosive substance) by irradiation with a CO 2 laser (983.29 cm Ϫ1 ). 77 The iodine() oxyfluoride IO 2 F can be made from the reaction of I 2 O 5 and IF 5 , but care must be taken, since any contact with the skin can produce HF. Due to the high stability of the compound, it was assumed to adopt a polymeric structure in the solid state.…”
