Disulfur difluoride is a halide of sulfur, with the chemical formula S2F2.

Contents

Structure

Disulfur difluoride will undergo intramolecular rearrangement in the presence of alkali elements' fluorides, yielding the isomer S=SF2:

Synthesis

Silver(II) fluoride can fluorinate sulfur in a strictly dry container, and the reaction produces FS-SF:

S=SF2 can be synthesized with the reaction of potassium fluorosulfite and disulfur dichloride:

Reactions

  • Decomposing to sulfur tetrafluoride and sulfur when heated:
  • Treated with water:
  • Reacting with sulfuric acid:
  • Reacting with sodium hydroxide:
  • Reacting with oxygen at high pressure, using nitrogen dioxide as the catalyst:
