Sulfur Tetrafluoride - Other Reactions

Other Reactions

Sulfur chloride pentafluoride (SF5Cl), a useful source of the SF5 group, is prepared from SF4.

Hydrolysis of SF4 gives sulfur dioxide:

SF4 + 2 H2O → SO2 + 4 HF

This reaction proceeds via the intermediacy of thionyl fluoride, which usually does not interfere with the use of SF4 as a reagent.

    “We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “Cuteness in children is totally an adult perspective. The children themselves are unaware that the quality exists, let alone its desirability, until the reactions of grownups inform them.”
