Abstract
The fluoroxysulfate ion, SO{sub 4}F{sup {minus}}, is the only known ionic hypofluorite. It is a very strong oxidant capable of oxidizing water, but the rate of its reaction with water is sufficiently low to allow studies of its chemistry in aqueous solution. Aqueous fluoroxysulfate appears to react primarily as a 1-electron oxidant, and an F atom transfer mechanism has been proposed to account for many of its reactions. The present work is a study of the laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of SO{sub 4}F{sup {minus}}.
