Thiothionyl fluoride is a chemical compound of fluorine and sulfur, with the chemical formula S=SF2. It is an isomer of disulfur difluoride (difluorodisulfane) F−S−S−F.

Preparation

Thiothionyl fluoride can be obtained from the reaction between disulfur dichloride with potassium fluoride at about 150 °C or with mercury(II) fluoride at 20 °C. [1] [2][ clarification needed]

S2Cl2 + 2 KF → S=SF2 + 2 KCl

Another possible preparation is by the reaction of nitrogen trifluoride with sulfur. [1]

NF3 + 3 S → S=SF2 + NSF

It also forms from disulfur difluoride when in contact with alkali metal fluorides. [3]

S=SF2 can also be synthesized with the reaction of potassium fluorosulfite and disulfur dichloride:

2 KSO2F + S2Cl2 → S=SF2 + 2 KCl + 2 SO2 [4]

Properties

Thiothionyl fluoride is a colorless gas. [2] At high temperatures and pressures, it decomposes into sulfur tetrafluoride and sulfur. [2]

2 S=SF2 → SF4 + 3 S

With hydrogen fluoride, it forms sulfur tetrafluoride and hydrogen sulfide. [5]

S=SF2 + 2 HF → SF4 + H2S

It condenses with sulfur difluoride at low temperatures to yield 1,3-difluoro-trisulfane-1,1-difluoride.

S=SF2 + SF2 → FS−S−SF3 [6]
