Fluoroantimonic acid Structural

What is Fluoroantimonic acid?

Description

Fluoroantimonic acid (HSbF6), the strongest known superacid, is made by combining HF with SbF5. It can be as much as 2 × 1019?times stronger than 100% H2SO4. However, superacids are all equally strong in aqueous solution; other solvents must be used to observe their effects.

Chemical properties

superacid; moisture sensitive [KIR78] [ALD94]
Strongest superacid known
mixture of HF and SbF5 (1:1 is strongest)
Protonate even hydrocarbons to afford carbocations and H2.
2×1019 (20 quintillion) times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid.
Ho values of -31.3

The Uses of Fluoroantimonic acid

Hydrogen hexafluoroantimonate(V) is an excellent medium for the preparation of alkylidene oxonium salts.

Preparation

Fluoroantimonic acid is produced by reacting hydrogen fluoride (HF) with antimony pentafluoride (SbF5).
SbF5+HF→SbF6+HF

General Description

HF/SbF5 may be synthesized by mixing hydrogen fluoride and antimony fluoride.1 Fluoroantimonic acid (HF/SbF5), is a combination of SbF5 and HF. It is the known strongest liquid superacid.
