Perchloryl fluoride

Perchloryl fluoride is a reactive gas with the chemical formula ClO
3
F
. It has a characteristic sweet odor that resembles gasoline and kerosene. It is toxic and is a powerful oxidizing and fluorinating agent. It is the acid fluoride of perchloric acid.

In spite of its small enthalpy of formation (ΔfH° = −5.2 kcal/mol (−22 kJ/mol)), it is kinetically stable, decomposing only at 400 °C.:380 It is quite reactive towards reducing agents and anions, however, with the chlorine atom acting as an electrophile.:382 It reacts explosively with reducing agents such as metal amides, metals, hydrides, etc. Its hydrolysis in water occurs very slowly, unlike that of chloryl fluoride.
