Fluorine forms two oxides OF 2 and O 2 F 2 ⋅ OF 2 is thermodynamically stable at 298 K. These oxides are essentially oxygen fluorides because of the higher electronegativity of fluorine than oxygen. Both are strong fluorinating agents. O 2 F 2 oxidises plutonium to PuF 6 and the reaction is used in removing plutonium as PuF 6 from spent nuclear fuel.
