Difluorophosphate or difluorodioxophosphate or phosphorodifluoridate is an anion with formula PO₂F⁻₂. It has a single negative charge and resembles perchlorate (ClO⁻₄) and monofluorosulfonate (SO₃F⁻) in shape and compounds. These ions are isoelectronic, along with tetrafluoroaluminate, phosphate, orthosilicate, and sulfate. It forms a series of compounds. The ion is toxic to mammals as it causes blockage to iodine uptake in the thyroid. However it is degraded in the body over several hours.
