==Reactions==
Chromyl fluoride is a strong ] capable of converting hydrocarbons to ketones and carboxylic acids. It can also be used as a reagent in the preparation of other chromyl compounds.<ref name=Gard/> Like some other fluoride compounds, CrO<sub>2</sub>F<sub>2</sub> reacts with glass and quartz, so silicon-free plastics or metals must be used when handling the compound.


==History and preparation== ==History and preparation==
Pure chromyl fluoride was first isolated in 1952 as reported by Engelbrecht and Grosse.<ref name=Engel>Engelbrecht, A., Grosse, A. V. Pure Chromyl Fluoride. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 74, 5262.</ref> It was first observed as red vapor in the early 19th century upon heating a mixture of fluorspar (CaF<sub>2</sub>), chromates, and sulfuric acid. These red vapors were initially thought to be CrF<sub>6</sub>, although some chemists assumed a CrO<sub>2</sub>F<sub>2</sub> structure analogous to CrO<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>.<ref name=Engel/> The first moderately successful synthesis of chromyl fluoride was reported by Fredenhagen who examined the reaction of ] with alkali chromates. A later attempt saw Wartenberg prepared impure CrO<sub>2</sub>F<sub>2</sub> by treating CrO<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> with elemental ]. Another attempt was made by Wiechert, who treated HF with dichromate, yielding impure liquid CrO2F2 at -40 °C. Pure chromyl fluoride was first isolated in 1952 as reported by Alfred Engelbrecht and ].<ref name = Engel>Engelbrecht, A.; ] (1952) "Pure Chromyl Fluoride," '']'' '''74'''(''21''), 5262–5264, {{doi|10.1021/ja01141a007}}.</ref> It was first observed as red vapor in the early 19th century upon heating a mixture of ] ({{chem2|CaF2}}), chromates, and ].

Engelbrecht and von Grosse's synthesis of {{chem2|CrO2F2}}, and most successive syntheses, involve treating ] with a fluorinating agent:<ref name = Engel />
:{{chem2|CrO3 + 2 HF → CrO2F2 + H2O}}
The reaction is reversible, as water will readily hydrolyze {{chem2|CrO2F2}} back to {{chem2|CrO3}}.

The approach published by ] in the ''Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry''<ref name = Brauer /> drew on von Wartenberg's approach<ref name = vonW /> of direct fluoridation:
:{{chem2|CrO2Cl2 + F2 → CrO2F2 + Cl2}}


Engelbrecht and Grosse’s synthesis of CrO<sub>2</sub>F<sub>2</sub>, and most successive syntheses, involve treating ] (CrO<sub>3</sub>) with a fluorinating agent:
