Synthesis and reactions
editPhosphorus oxyfluoride is prepared by partial hydrolysis of phosphorus pentafluoride.
Phosphorus oxyfluoride is the progenitor of the simple fluorophosphoric acids by hydrolysis. The sequence starts with difluorophosphoric acid:
- POF3 + H2O → HPO2F2 + HF
The next steps give monofluorophosphoric acid and phosphoric acid:
- HPO2F2 + H2O → H2PO3F + HF
- H2PO3F + H2O → H3PO4 + HF
Phosphoryl fluoride combines with dimethylamine to produce dimethylaminophosphoryl difluoride (H3C−)2N−P(=O)F2 and difluorophosphate and hexafluorophosphate ions.[2]
