Dioxygen difluoride is a compound of fluorine and oxygen with the molecular formula O2F2. It can exist as an orange-colored solid which melts into a red liquid at −163 °C. It is an extremely strong oxidant and decomposes into oxygen and fluorine even at −160 °C at a rate of 4% per day — its lifetime at room temperature is thus extremely short. Dioxygen difluoride reacts vigorously with nearly every chemical it encounters leading to its onomatopoeic nickname "FOOF".
