The rates for gas‐phase hydrolysis of SOF2 (thionylfluoride) and SOF4 (thionyl tetrafluoride) have been measured at a temperature of 298 K. The second order rate constant for SOF2 hydrolysis in SF6 buffer gas was found to have the value (1.2±0.3)×10−23 cm3/s which agrees with previous estimates of Sauers et al., but is three orders of magnitude lower than the value obtained by Rüegsegger et al. at 340 K. The rate constant for SOF4 hydrolysis has not previously been measured and its value in both SF6 and N2 buffer gases was found here to be (1.0±0.3)×10−21 cm3/s.

At the present time there is considerable uncertainty about the heats of formation for and Recent revised estimates of the heats of formation for these molecules would indicate that hydrolysis is slightly exothermic at 298 K and hydrolysis is more exothermic than indicated here [see J. T. Herron, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data (in press)].
