NIST-JANAF thermochemical tables for the oxygen fluorides

The thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of the oxygen fluoride species have been reviewed. Recommended thermochemical tables are given for five gaseous oxygen fluorides: OF, OFO, FOO, FOF, and O2F2. Sufficient information is not available to generate thermochemical tables for any condensed phase species. Annotated bibliographies (over 600 references) are provided for all neutral oxygen fluorides which have been reported in the literature, There are needs for additional experimental and theoretical data to reduce the uncertainties in the recommended values for these five species. Of all the species mentioned in the literature, many have not been isolated and characterized. In fact, some do not exist. Throughout this paper, uncertainties attached to recommended values correspond to the uncertainty interval, equal to twice the standard deviation of the mean.
