  1. Fluoroantimonic acid

    Fluoroantimonic acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2FSbF6 (also written H2F[SbF6], 2HF·SbF5, or simply HF-SbF5). It is an extremely strong acid, easily qualifying as a superacid. The Hammett acidity function, H0, has been measured for different ratios of HF:SbF5. While the H0 of pure HF is −15, addition of just 1 mol % of SbF5 lowers it to around −20. However, further addition of SbF5 results in rapidly diminishing returns, with the H0 reaching −21 at 10 mol %. The use of an extremely weak base as indicator shows that the lowest attainable H0, even with > 50 mol % SbF5, is somewhere between −21 and −23.The "canonical" composition of fluoroantimonic acid is prepared by treating liquid hydrogen fluoride (HF) with liquid antimony pentafluoride (SbF5) in a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1. It is the strongest superacid based on measured H0 value. Only the carborane acids, whose H0 could not be directly determined due to their high melting points, may be stronger acids than fluoroantimonic acid. It has been shown to protonate even hydrocarbons to afford pentacoordinate carbocations (carbonium ions). It is exceptionally corrosive and can only be stored in containers lined with Teflon. Fluoroantimonic acid thermally decomposes when heated, generating free hydrogen fluoride gas and liquid antimony pentafluoride. At temperatures as low as 40 C, fluoroantimonic acid will release HF into the gas phase. Antimony pentafluoride liquid can be recovered from fluoroantimonic acid by heating and releasing HF into the gas phase . The reaction to produce fluoroantimonic acid results in formation of the fluoronium ion as a major species in equilibrium:
