Lithium hypofluorite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of LiOF.
It is a compound of lithium, fluorine, and oxygen.
[dubious – discuss] The salt theoretically results from the neutralization of hypofluorous acid (HOF) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH).
It can be formed by the action of fluorine on lithium hydroxide: The compound is quite unstable, since it contains oxygen in the oxidation state of 0.
It, therefore, tends to decompose to lithium fluoride and oxygen gas: This inorganic compound–related article is a stub.
