Thionyl tetrafluoride gas reacts efficiently with primary amines to form reactive iminosulfur oxydifluoride compounds. These dual S.sup.VI—F loaded iminosulfur oxydifluoride compounds, in turn, readily react with secondary amines or aryloxy silyl ethers (ArO—SiR.sub.3), yielding the corresponding fused heteroatom-linked substrates. Iminosulfur oxyfluoride polymers also are provided by disclosed methods.
