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.

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:

    Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.”
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    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)
