Synthesis
The compound can be prepared by electric discharges through the F2—O2 mixture of the certain molar ratio at 60 to 77 K. The ratio is predicted to be 6:2.[4]
Physical properties
Hexaoxygen difluoride is an oxidizing agent. At 60 K, the compound looks like a dark-brown crystalline solid. If slowly warmed, it decomposes to lower oxygen fluorides and ozone. If quickly warmed to 90 K, it explodes, creating O2 and F2.[4]
