Sulfur tetrafluoride Usage And Synthesis
Selective organic fluorinating agent Sulfur tetrafluoride is a selective organic fluorinating agent, S atoms form σ bond with sp3d hybrid orbitals on its molecular structure, molecular shape is distorted tetrahedral, at normal temperature and pressure, it is colorless gas with strong stimulus foul odor of gas which similar to sulfur dioxide, it is toxic, it does not burn and explode in the air, at 600 ℃ it remains stable. It strong hydrolyzes and emits white smoke in the air. When encounteres water environment, it will cause corrosion of similar to hydrofluoric acid. It fully hydrolyzes into hydrofluoric acid and sulfur dioxide, the partial hydrolysis can produce toxic thionyl fluoride, alkali solution can fully absorb into it and turn it into non-toxic salts; it is soluble in benzene.
Sulfur tetrafluoride (abbreviation of SF4) is currently widely used and it is the most potent selective organic fluorinating agent, it can selectively fluorinate carbonyl and hydroxyl (substituted oxygen of carbonyl compounds); it is widely used in chemical high-grade and high-end liquid crystal material medicine, pesticide intermediates production industry, it has irreplaceable position.

Chemical PropertiesSulfur tetrafluoride is a colorless gas with an odor like sulfur dioxide. Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.
UsesCompounds of interest in this group include sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used as an electrical insulating material in circuit breakers, cables, capacitors, and transformers, and its degradation products, which are produced when electrical arcing occurs. The specific compounds produced depend on the arcing conditions. In anaerobic and anhydrous circumstances, sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4) is produced; if moisture is present, the tetrafluoride may hydrolyze to form thionyl fluoride (SOF2) and HF. Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2), disulfur decafluoride (S2F10), sulfur pentafluoride (SF5), and sulfur dioxide are also formed from sulfur hexafluoride. Some of these compounds are also produced as contaminants in the commercial production of sulfur hexafluoride by burning sulfur in fluorine gas, for example, sulfur tetrafluoride and disulfur decafluoride, as well as sulfur monofluoride (S2F2).
UsesAs a fluorinating agent in the production of water- and oil-repellant materials and lubricity improvers; found as a degradation product of sulfur hexafluoride.
UsesSelective fluorinating agent.
DefinitionChEBI: Sulfur tetrafluoride is a sulfur coordination entity.
General DescriptionSulfur tetrafluoride is a colorless gas with a distinct sulfur odor. Sulfur tetrafluoride is highly toxic by inhalation and a strong irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts vigorously with water and acids to yield toxic fluoride and sulfur oxide fumes and an acidic solution. Sulfur tetrafluoride is heavier than air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may violently rupture or rocket. Sulfur tetrafluoride is used as a fluoridizing agent and as an oil repellent.
Air & Water ReactionsViolent reaction with water. Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts vigorously with water and acids to yield toxic fluoride and sulfur oxide fumes and an acidic solution.
Reactivity ProfileSulfur tetrafluoride is a highly toxic and corrosive gas. On contact with water, steam, or mineral acids Sulfur tetrafluoride decomposes and produces toxic and highly irritating fumes. When heated to decomposition Sulfur tetrafluoride emits very toxic fluoride and sulfur oxides fumes [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 1197]. Explosively violent reactions with 2-(hydroxymethyl)furan or 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol even below -50° C have been recorded [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 1432]. Ignition or explosion may occur on contact with dioxygen difluoride even below -100° C [Streng, A. G., Chem. Rev., 1963, 63, p. 615].
HazardHigh by inhalation, strong irritant to eyes, mucous membranes, and upper respiratory tract irritant. Lung damage.
Health HazardSulfur tetrafluoride is highly toxic by inhalation; it is a strong irritant to eyes and mucous membranes. Poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with liquid may cause frostbite.
Fire HazardContainer may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, Sulfur tetrafluoride emits very toxic fumes of fluorides and sulfur oxides. Reacts violently with water. Sulfur tetrafluoride is decomposed by concentrated sulfuric acid. Thermostable to 1112F.
Safety ProfilePoison by inhalation. A powerful irritant. Will react with water, steam, or acids to yield toxic and corrosive fumes. Incompatible with dioxygen difluoride. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Fand SOx. See also FLUORIDES.
Potential ExposureSulfur tetrafluoride is used as a selective fluorinating agent in making water-repellent and oil repellent materials and lubricity improvers. It is also used as a pesticide intermediate.
ShippingUN2418 Sulfur tetrafluoride, Hazard Class: 2.3; Labels: 2.3-Poisonous gas, 8-Corrosive material, Inhalation Hazard Zone A. Cylinders must be transported in a secure upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder and labels from physical damage. The owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylinders without the express written permission of the owner. Forbidden to be transported by any aircraft or by rail tank car.
IncompatibilitiesKeep away from moisture, concentrated sulfuric acid, dioxygen difluoride. Reacts vigorously with water, alcohols and acids releasing toxic fluoride, sulfur oxide fumes and forming a corrosive acid solution. Readily hydrolyzed by moisture, forming hydrofluoric acid, thionyl fluoride. Attacks glass, ceramic, concrete
Waste DisposalReturn refillable compressed gas cylinders to supplier. Nonrefillable cylinders should be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Allow remaining gas to vent slowly into atmosphere in an unconfined area or exhaust hood. Refillabletype cylinders should be returned to original supplier with any valve caps and outlet plugs secured and valve protection caps in place.
