QUICK LINKS

Xenon difluoride (XeF2) is a highly stable and potent fluorinating agent. This colorless crystalline solid is moisture-sensitive, decomposing upon contact with water vapor. However, it remains stable during storage. Known for its dense properties, xenon difluoride acts as a strong oxidizing agent and is widely recognized for its robust fluorinating capabilities.
