Xenon dioxydifluoride explained

Xenon dioxydifluoride is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula XeO₂F₂. At room temperature it exists as a metastable solid, which decomposes slowly into xenon difluoride, but the cause of this decomposition is unknown.^[1]

Preparation

Xenon dioxydifluoride is prepared by reacting xenon trioxide with xenon oxytetrafluoride.

XeO3 + XeOF4 -> 2XeO2F2
