It doesn't exist. The valence shell of oxygen (n = 2) does not have access to any d orbitals, so oxygen is unable to expand its octet to produce OF6. However, the compounds sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and selenium hexafluoride (SF6) do exist because they have access to d orbitals in which they can form expanded octets. The hybridization of the central atom in SF6 and SeF6 is sp3d2.

The formula of dinitrogen hexafluoride is N2F6. This is because both nitrogen and fluorine are non metals and according the the rule of naming molecular compounds when two non metals share their valence electrons, the bonds are indicated using the prefix system.

(CO3)2 because the amount of carbon in carbonate (only one) doubles to be two carbon atoms and as carbonate has 3 oxygen atoms, it doubles to 6 and creates C2O6
