Iodyl Fluoride
Iodyl fluoride is an inorganic compound of iodine, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula . It is in the form of colorless crystals. Iodyl fluoride features iodine in the oxidation state of +5. The compound was initially synthesized in 1951. Synthesis Iodyl fluoride can be decomposed by iodosyl trifluoride heated to in nitrogen. Since this reaction is reversible, the reaction requires constant removal of iodine pentafluoride. : It can also be obtained by dissolving iodine pentoxide, , in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. : Physical properties Iodyl fluoride forms colorless crystals of orthorhombic system. Reacts with water. Chemical properties Iodyl fluoride is stable in dry air, but slowly hydrolyzes to iodic and hydrofluoric acids in moisture. : 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 Hydrogen pe ...

Chloryl Fluoride
Chloryl fluoride is the chemical compound with the formula . This compound is a gas boiling at −6 °C. It is commonly encountered as side-product in reactions of chlorine fluorides with oxygen sources. It is the acyl fluoride of chloric acid. Preparation was first reported by Schmitz and Schumacher in 1942, who prepared it by the fluorination of . The compound is more conveniently prepared by reaction of sodium chlorate Sodium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na ClO3. It is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. It is hygroscopic. It decomposes above 300 °C to release oxygen and leaves sodium chloride. Sever ... and chlorine trifluoride and purified by vacuum fractionation, i.e. selectively condensing this species separately from other products. : Structure In contrast to , is a pyramidal molecule as predicted by VSEPR. The differing structures reflects the greater tendency of chlorine to exist in positive oxi ...
