Disulfur decafluoride is a chemical compound with the formula S2F10. It was discovered in 1934 by Denbigh and Whytlaw-Gray.[4] Each sulfur atom of the S2F10 molecule is octahedral, and surrounded by five fluorine atoms[5] and one sulfur atom. The two sulfur atoms are connected by a single bond. In the S2F10 molecule, the oxidation state of each sulfur atoms is +5, but their valency is 6 (they are hexavalent). S2F10 is highly toxic, with toxicity four times that of phosgene.

It is a colorless liquid with a burnt match smell similar to sulfur dioxide.[1]
