carbonyl fluoride (COF2)

carbonyl fluoride (COF2)

Carbonyl fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature.  COF2 is mainly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds and as a reagent in certain chemical reactions.

Common synonyms: Carbon difluoride oxide, Carbon fluoride oxide, Carbon oxyfluoride, Fluorophosgene

Properties of carbonyl fluoride (COF2):

  • Reactivity: Carbonyl fluoride is a highly reactive compound and can react violently with water, bases, acids and metals.
  • Melting point: -123,6°C
  • Solubility: COF2 is slightly soluble in water.
  • Health risks: Carbonyl fluoride is highly toxic and can cause respiratory tract irritation, burns and serious injury in the event of inhalation or skin contact.
  • Protection and prevention: It is imperative to handle carbonyl fluoride in a well-ventilated environment and to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a respirator, gloves and protective suit.
