Oxidizing agents antimony pentafluoride

Antimony pentafluoride is a strong Lewis acid and a good oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Its behavior as a Lewis acid leads to the formation of numerous simple and complex adducts. It reacts vigorously with water to form a clear solution from which antimony pentafluoride dihydrate [65277-49-8], SbF 2H2O, may be isolated. This is probably not a tme hydrate, but may well be better formulated as [H O] [SbF OH]. 

RED PHOSPHORUS (7723-14-0) Less reactive than white phosphorus. Red is a combustible solid ignites in air at 500°F/260°C. Red phosphorus can decompose into more hazardous white at 554 F/290°C. Contact with oxidizers can cause ignition and explosions, or produce shock-sensitive compounds. Also reacts with reducing agents. Produces phosphine gas on contact with moisture and oxygen. Reacts, possibly violently, with many other substances, including ammonium nitrate, antimony pentachloride, antimony pentafluoride. 

As shown by conductometric, cryoscopic, and related acidity measurements, it appears that antimony pentafluoride is by far one of the strongest Lewis acids known. Antimony pentafluoride is also a strong oxidizing agent, allowing, for example, preparation of arene dications. At the same time, its easy reducibility to antimony trifluoride represents a limitation in many applications, although it can be easily refluorinated. 

DICROTOPHOS (141-66-2) CsHisNOjP Combustible liquid. Explosive mixture formed with air [Flashpoint >175°F/>79°C Fire Rating (isopropanol) 2]. Note May vary depending on carrier solvent used in liquid formulations. Contact with oxidizers may cause the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. May react violently with antimony(V) pentafluoride. Contact with strong reducing agents, including metal hydrides, nitrides, sulfides, alkali metals, and metal alkyls, may cause the formation of...
