Xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF
4
) is an inorganic chemical compound. It is a colorless stable liquid[2][3] with a melting point of −46.2 °C (−51.2 °F; 227.0 K)[4] that can be synthesized by partial hydrolysis of XeF
6
, or the reaction of XeF

with silica[3] or NaNO

:[5]

NaNO

+ XeF

A high-yield synthesis proceeds by the reaction of XeF
6
with POF
3
at −196 °C (−320.8 °F; 77.1 K).[6]

As are most xenon oxides, it is extremely reactive and unstable, and hydrolyses in water to give dangerously hazardous and corrosive products, including hydrogen fluoride:

→ 2 Xe + 8 HF + 3 O

In addition, some ozone and fluorine is formed.

In its liquid form, XeOF

exhibits amphoteric behaviour, forming complexes with both strong Lewis bases like CsF and strong Lewis acids like SbF
