Sulfur difluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SF₂. It can be generated by the reaction of sulfur dichloride and potassium fluoride or mercury(II) fluoride at low pressures:

SCl₂ + 2 KF → SF₂ + 2 KCl

SCl₂ + HgF₂ → SF₂ + HgCl₂

The F−S−F bond angle is 98°, and the length of S−F bond is 159 pm.^[1] The compound is highly unstable, dimerising to FSSF₃. This unsymmetrical isomer of S₂F₄ is proposed to arise via insertion of SF₂ into the S−F bond of a second molecule SF₂:^[2]

It can also be formed from oxygen difluoride and hydrogen sulfide:^{[citation needed]}

OF₂ + H₂S → SF₂ + H₂O
