Chlorine trifluoride is an interhalogen compound with the formula ClF 3.It is a colorless, poisonous, corrosive, and extremely reactive gas that condenses to a pale-greenish yellow liquid, the form in which it is most often sold (pressurized at room temperature).
Rocket fuel chemist John Drury Clark reported in his book Ignition! that chloryl fluoride "is indecently reactive, and the hardest to keep of all the CI-O-F compounds, since it apparently dissolves the protective metal fluoride coatings that make the storage of ClF 3 comparatively simple."
Other uses include flexible printed circuits and insulation of wires and cables. [23] [22] Low-molecular-weight PCTFE waxes, oils and greases find their application as inert sealants and lubricants. They are also used as gyroscope flotation fluids and plasticizers for thermoplastics. [2] PCTFE is used for cryogenic seals and components.
It reacts with many metals and metal oxides to form similar ionised entities; with other metals, it forms the metal fluoride plus free bromine and oxygen; and with water, it forms hydrofluoric acid and hydrobromic acid. It is used in organic chemistry as a fluorinating agent. It has the same molecular shape as chlorine trifluoride.

Trifluoromethyl group covalently bonded to an R group. The trifluoromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula-CF 3.The naming of is group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula -CH 3), by replacing each hydrogen atom by a fluorine atom.
Structure of chlorine trifluoride, an example of a compound with T-shaped coordination geometry. In chemistry, T-shaped molecular geometry describes the structures of some molecules where a central atom has three ligands. Ordinarily, three-coordinated compounds adopt trigonal planar or pyramidal geometries.
