Popis: The SrFeO 2 F oxyfluoride was prepared through a low temperature, multistep synthetic route starting with the SrFeO 3− x perovskite via the SrFeO 2 infinite layer intermediate phase. In the final step SrFeO 2 F was formed by reacting SrFeO 2 with XeF 2 at 150 °C. In spite of utilizing an intermediate with layered ordering of oxygen vacancies, disordered SrFeO 2 F was synthesized. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron powder diffraction data did not reveal any signs of tetragonal distortion predicted by DFT calculations for SrFeO 2 F with layered O/F ordering. Significantly, the magnetic properties observed are drastically different from those reported earlier in the literature indicating that the properties of O/F disordered phases depend on the degree of short range ordering. Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements revealed the predominance of cis fluorine configuration in FeO 4 F 2 polyhedra, confirming a difference in local Fe coordination in comparison with O/F disordered SrFeO 2 F.
