Chloryl fluoride is the

ClO₂F was first reported by Schmitz and Schumacher in 1942, who prepared it by the fluorination of ClO₂.^[2] The compound is more conveniently prepared by reaction of sodium chlorate and chlorine trifluoride^[3] and purified by vacuum fractionation, i.e. selectively condensing this species separately from other products. This species is a gas boiling at −6 °C:

6 NaClO₃ + 4 ClF₃ → 6 ClO₂F + 2 Cl₂ + 3 O₂ + 6 NaF
