Question:
A paper by Gillespie and Liang entitled ‘Superacid solutions in hydrogen fluoride’ (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1988, 110, 6053) discusses the acidity of various solutions of inorganic compounds in HF.
(a) Give the order of acid strength of the pentafluorides determined during the investigation.
(b) Give the equations for the reactions of SbF5 and AsF5 with HF.
(c) SbF5 forms an F-bridged dimer (Sb2F11−) in HF: give the equation for the equilibrium between the monomeric and the dimeric species.
