1,3-Difluoro-trisulfane-1,1-difluoride is an inorganic molecular substance with the structure SF₃SSF, consisting of sulfur in a low oxidation state with fluorine. The compound consists of a chain of three sulfur atoms, with three fluorine atoms bonded to the sulfur on one end and the fourth fluorine bonded to the sulfur on the other end. It has a melting point of -62 °C and a boiling point of 94 °C. As a gas, it is unstable and breaks up to form SSF₂ and SF₄.^[1]

SF₃SSF is produced by the condensation of sulfur difluoride and an isomer of SSF₂.^[2] The reaction S₃F₄ ⇌ SSF₂ + SF₂ uses 6 kJ/mol.^[3]

Possible isomers of its S₃F₄ molecular formula include FSSF₂SF, which has a spontaneous fluorine migration to yield F₂SSSF₂, which in turn spontaneously fragments to give SF₂ and SSF₂.^[4]
