Transition metal complexes bearing terminal oxido ligands are quite common, yet group 11 terminal oxo complexes remain elusive. Here we show that excited coinage metal atoms M (M = Au, Ag, Cu) react with OF2 to form hypofluorites FOMF and group 11 oxygen metal fluorides OMF2, OAuF and OAgF. These compounds have been characterized by IR matrix-isolation spectroscopy in conjunction with state-of-the-art quantum-chemical calculations. The oxygen fluorides are formed by photolysis of the initially prepared hypofluorites. The linear molecules OAgF and OAuF have a 3Σ - ground state with a biradical character. Two unpaired electrons are located mainly at the oxygen ligand in antibonding O-M π* orbitals. For the 2B2 ground state of the OMIIIF2 compounds only an O-M single bond arises and a significant spin-density contribution was found at the oxygen atom as well.
