Xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF4) is an inorganic chemical compound. It is a colorless stable liquid[3][2] with a melting point of −46.2 °C[4] that can be synthesized by partial hydrolysis of XeF6, or the reaction of XeF6 with silica[3] or NaNO3:[5]

NaNO3 + XeF6NaF + XeOF4 + FNO2

A high-yield synthesis proceeds by the reaction of XeF6 with POF3 at −196 °C.[6]

As are most xenon oxides, it is extremely reactive and unstable, and hydrolyses in water to give dangerously hazardous and corrosive products, including hydrogen fluoride:

2 XeOF4 + 4 H2O → 2 Xe + 8 HF + 3 O2

In addition, some ozone and fluorine are also formed. This reaction is extremely dangerous, and xenon oxytetrafluoride should therefore be kept away from any trace of water or water vapour under all conditions.

Reactions

XeOF4 reacts with H2O in a following steps:

XeOF4 + H2O → XeO2F2 + 2 HF
XeO2F2 + H2O → XeO3 + 2 HF

The XeO3 formed is a dangerous explosive, decomposing explosively to Xe and O2:

2 XeO3 → 2 Xe + 3 O2

In its liquid form, XeOF4 exhibits amphoteric behaviour, forming complexes with both strong Lewis bases like CsF and strong Lewis acids like SbF5.[7] It forms a 1:1 adduct with XeF2, isostructural with XeF2·IF5,[8] as well as various heavy alkali metal fluorides.[4]

The reaction of XeOF4 with XeO3 provides a convenient synthesis route for XeO2F2.[9]
