Fluoroperchlorate can be obtained by reacting perchloric acid with fluorine at low temperatures.

${\displaystyle \mathrm {HClO_{4}+F_{2}\longrightarrow ClO_{4}F+HF} }$

properties

Fluoroperchlorate is a colorless, strongly acidic smelling, very explosive gas. It often explodes when it melts, condenses or as a gas (similar to nitroxyfluoride NO ₃ F) when it comes into contact with dust, grease or rubber. In the open test tube, the gas explodes on contact with a flame or a spark gap.

safety instructions

Fluoroperchlorate irritates the throat and lungs. It creates long-lasting shortness of breath.
