Fluorophosphoric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula H₂PO₃F. It is a colorless viscous liquid that solidified to a glass upon cooling.^[1]

Preparation[]

Fluorophosphoric acid is produced commercially by treating phosphorus pentoxide with hydrogen fluoride. A less pure product can also be prepared by hydrolysis of phosphorus oxyfluoride, a reaction that first produces difluorophosphoric acid:^[1]

POF₃ + H₂O → HPO₂F₂ + HF

The next steps give monofluorophosphoric acid:

HPO₂F₂ + H₂O → H₂PO₃F + HF

Reactions[]

Fluorophosphoric acid is a dibasic acid, with pK_as of 5.5 and around 8.5. The conjugate bases are the monofluorophosphates, which are hydrolytically robust.
