The reactions of fluorine-fluorosulfate, FOSO 2F, with SSF 2, SeF 4, AsF 3 and MoF 5 have been studied, and its previously reported reactions with SF 4, Br 2 and I 2 re-investigated in order to test its suitability as a synthetic reagent. All substrates reacted exothermically, and sometimes explosively, between 80–298 K. The presence of the byproducts obtained may be rationalized by the thermal decomposition of some of the FOSO 2F, which proceeds along two pathways, i.e. FOSO 2F→1/2O 2+SO 2F 2 and FOSO 2F→1/2F 2+1/2S 2O 6F 2, during the extremely exothermic reactions via radical intermediates. The fluorine formed gives rise to fully fluorinated products, and the SO 3F· radicals, initially formed, either dimerize to give S 2O 6F 2 or decompose to O 2 and S 2O 5F 2. Element fluoride-fluorosnlfates, when formed at all, were obtained in low yields only when SO 2F 2 or SO 2FCl were used as suitable moderators. The complete vibrational spectra of EF 5OSO 2F (E=S, Se or Te) have been studied and assigned. The reactions of I 2, Br 2 and AsF 3 with FOSO 2F yielded viscous liquids of the approximate, non-stoichiometric composition EF n (SO 3F) 5− n (E=As or I) and EF n (SO 3F) 3− n (E=Br), with n=non-integral number. All compounds were characterized by their vibrational and 19F NMR spectra, and in the case of SeF 5OSOe 2F by 77Se NMR methods.
