The real question is whether we can make FOOOF :)

  Who's this "we" you're talking about? I'm not sure if FOOF or ClF3 is worse. I'm actually leaning towards ClF3 since people have actually made large quantities of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2AdknTcMI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2AdknTcMI Prof. Poliakoff - now Dr. Martyn Poliakoff CBE - has made it, and in this video he briefly shows the specialized apparatus you use in the production of FOOF. (I highly recommend his entire series, "Periodic Table of Videos". they are really fun)
