Phosphoryl fluoride (commonly called phosphorus oxyfluoride) is a compound with the chemical formula POF3. It is a colorless gas that hydrolyzes rapidly. It has a critical temperature of 73 °C and a critical pressure of 4.25 bars.[1]

Synthesis and reactions

[edit]

Phosphorus oxyfluoride is prepared by partial hydrolysis of phosphorus pentafluoride.

Phosphorus oxyfluoride is the progenitor of the simple fluorophosphoric acids by hydrolysis. The sequence starts with difluorophosphoric acid:

POF3 + H2O → HPO2F2 + HF

The next steps give monofluorophosphoric acid and phosphoric acid:

HPO2F2 + H2O → H2PO3F + HF
H2PO3F + H2O → H3PO4 + HF

Phosphoryl fluoride combines with dimethylamine to produce dimethylaminophosphoryl difluoride (H3C−)2N−P(=O)F2 and difluorophosphate and hexafluorophosphate ions.[2]
