Initially, a common method for synthesis of this ] was to react ] with ] at high temperatures and high pressures.

=== Rocket propellant ===
Chlorine pentafluoride was once considered for use as an oxidizer for rockets. As a propellant, it has a higher maximum ] than ], but with the same difficulties in handling.<ref name="Clark" /> Due to the hazardous nature of chlorine pentafluoride, it has yet to be used in a large scale rocket propulsion system.
