Xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF4) is an inorganic chemical compound. 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:XeOF4 + 2 H2O → Xe + 4 HF + 3/2 O2In addition some ozone and fluorine are also formed. The reaction is extremely dangerous and xenon oxytetrafluoride should therefore be kept away from any trace of water or water vapour under all conditions.
