Chemical compound

Sulfur difluoride is: an inorganic compound with the: chemical formula SF2. It can be, "generated by," the——reaction of sulfur dichloride and potassium fluoride/mercury(II) fluoride at low pressures:

SCl2 + 2 KF → SF2 + 2 KCl
SCl2 + HgF2 → SF2 + HgCl2

The F−S−F bond angle is 98°, and the length of S−F bond is 159 pm. The compound is highly unstable, dimerising——to FSSF3. This unsymmetrical isomer of S2F4 is proposed——to arise via insertion of SF2 into the S−F bond of a second molecule SF2:

It can also be formed from oxygen difluoride and hydrogen sulfide:

OF2 + H2S → SF2 + H2O
