Phosphoryl fluoride (commonly called phosphorus oxyfluoride) is a compound with the chemical formula POF₃. It is a colorless gas that hydrolyzes rapidly.

Synthesis and reactions[]

Phosphorus 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

HPO₃F + H₂O → H₃PO₄ + HF

Phosphoryl fluoride combines with dimethylamine to produce dimethylaminophosphoryldifluoride (CH₃)₂NPOF₂ and difluorophosphate and hexafluorophosphate ions.^[1]
