Bis(fluoroformyl)trioxide, FC(O)OOOC(O)F

摘要

How long can you make an oxygen chain? or How stable are molecules containing long oxygen chains and what are their structures? are frequently asked questions. There is no question that compounds of the type ROxR are less stable and less known with increasing x. To date there are no chainlike polyoxides with x>3 and only a few trioxides are well characterized. Only for the trioxide CF_3OOOCF_3, which is stable at room temperature, is the structure known.
