Perchloryl fluoride is a reactive gas with the chemical formula ClO3F. It has a characteristic sweet odor that resembles gasoline and kerosene. It is toxic and is a powerful oxidizing and fluorinating agent. It is the acid fluoride of perchloric acid.In spite of its small enthalpy of formation (ΔHfO = −5.7) it is stable decomposing only at 400 °C. It is quite reactive towards reducing agents and anions however with the chlorine atom acting as an electrophile.
