Synthesis
edit- Iodyl fluoride can be decomposed by iodosyl trifluoride heated to 110 °C in nitrogen. Since this reaction is reversible, the reaction requires constant removal of iodine pentafluoride.[1]
- 2IOF3 ⇌ IO2F + IF5
- Dissolving the anhydride of iodic acid, I2O5, in anhydrous hydrofluoric acid.[2]
- I2O5 + HF → IO2F + HIO3
Physical properties
editIodyl fluoride forms colorless crystals of orthorhombic system.[3] Reacts with water.[4]
Chemical properties
editIodyl fluoride is stable in dry air, but slowly hydrolyzes to iodic and hydrofluoric acids in moisture.[1]
- IO2F + H2O → HIO3 + HF
The compound reacts with strong fluorinating agents such as bromine trifluoride and selenium tetrafluoride to form iodine pentafluoride. Iodyl fluoride can be reduced to elemental iodine by pure hydrogen peroxide.[5][6]
- 3IO2F + 4BrF3 → 3IF5 + 2Br2 + 3O2
- IO2F + 2SeF4 → IF5 + 2SeOF2
