No offense meant at all caesium, but I think you underestimate us at the MSDB, we are all about finding out different methods to synthesise all sorts
of materials no matter how mad or unusual they may seem.

O2F2 is your ultimate oxidizer, at liquid air temperatures it's almost as agressive as elemental fluorine at room t. Think what it does at normal
t (if it doesn't do anything at those temperatures it decomposes, it's that active ).
Fluorine has been excelled! Peroxygen fluoride is the king!

Do you think O2F2 could oxidize Au up to Au(V) pentafluoride? The usual reaction is with a mixture of F2 and O2, via dioxygenyl hexafluoroaurate(V):
2Au(s) + 2O2(g) + 6F2(g) (370°C, 8 atmosphere) -> 2O2AuF6 (sublime, 180°C) -> 2AuF5(s) + 2O2(g) + F2(g)
http://www.webelements.com/webelements/compounds/text/Au/Au1...
A red solid, it decomposes at 60ºC. The same reaction with Pt would probably produce O2PtF6, or with pure F2, PtF6.

I'm sure it will, it's certainly more aggressive than fluorine, and it has the oxygen you would otherwise have to add to the fluorine in an
active "peroxygen" state (the -O-O- group is always more oxidizing than elemental oxygen, while O2F2 is F-O-O-F, so it has the oxidizing
power of H2O2 and fluorine combined, oh and O2F2 is highly ENDOTHERMIC).
So yes, it will do what fluorine on its own can't, make AuF5.

I don't know how this compares with O2F2, but apparently ClF5 is quite nasty, on account of it being about as reactive as fluorine but much denser.
Anyhow, I was reading through a rather old chemistry book of mine and ran across this:
From Latimer, Hildebrand, "Reference Book of Inorganic Chemistry", 1929
Quote: | Fluorine forms the fairly stable oxide, F2O, and at low temperatures the oxides F2O2 and F2O3
|
The book unfortunately doesn't elaborate on how stable it is (which I found rather annoying), so it could just be an unstable intermediary or
something. Still, if it is stable (to some extent) it'd probably be a bit more corrosive than F2O2 owing to the fact that it has 3(!) oxygens in a row.

I read somewhere that someone had succeeded in producing the cation ClF6+ as a stable compound, isoelectronic with SF6. It would be highly reactive,
but probably less so than ClF5 due to its greater molecular symmetry and Cl(VII) being more stable than Cl(V).

Not fluorine SUPERoxide, and not even fluorine peroxide. Peroxygen fluoride... the sound of it kind of prepares you for hearing about its
reactivity...
Oh, and F2O4 also exists (btw, "F2O3" is actually a mixture of F2O2 and F2O4).

Being strongly acidic does not neccessarily mean that a compound is very corrosive. The superacids being generated in research labs are incredibly
strong acids, but are usually not all that corrosive. On the opposite end of the spectrum, HF is a fairly weak acid yet it is one of the most
corrosive compounds out there.

This might be a bit ambitious, but anyway:
If there could be found a Lewis acid strong enough to make F2 act as a Lewis base (i.e. form a complex of the form F - F(+) - X), then you could
effectively have a compound in which one of the fluorine atoms is in the +1 oxidation state. It will be the fluorine atom on the end that is in the +1
oxidation state, not the middle one (this is because, owing to the positive charge on the middle fluorine atom, the electrons in the F-F bond will be
closer to the middle fluorine. As a result, the fluorine on the end will have lost partial control of an electron, putting it in the +1 oxidation
state.) Such a reaction is known to occur for the heavier halogens, for instance, chlorine will react with AlCl3 as follows: Cl2 + AlCl3 ->
Cl-Cl(+)-Al(-)Cl3
in which the chlorine atom on the end behaves as would be expected if it were in the +1 oxidation state.
So if such a feat could be performed with fluorine, this might perhaps be the most corrosive possible chemical compound (the most corrosive
non-chemical agent you could get in the universe would probably be antimatter ).

Potassium Cyanide
Mercury Chloride
Arsenic
Thallium
I also worked at the hospitals physics-department, as a trainee. Some radioactive isotopes "mystically disappeared", from there |
I can't even tell you how bad a plan all of this is.
Personally, I am nuts. I still play around with concentrated mineral acids.
But no one really understands how insidiously dangerous HF is until they make a mistake. I have one hospital stay under my belt from that one, even
being super careful.
Sodium- meh. Keep it away from large amounts of water. Bromine? Keep it in its container, pull a few drops out to experiment…not a huge deal as long
as you don't pour it all over the place. But WP, any cyanide, arsenic, and thallium- you're gonna die. It's not worth it.
Chromium trioxide is corrosive, but the true danger lies in the fact that it's quite carcinogenic. If you weren't aware of this, cancer SUCKS. I have
CrO3, its a useful compound, but be vewy vewy careful…
Bah. Have your fun. But be very careful that your fun doesn't end in heavy metal toxicity, hypocalcemia, blindness, or a simple tertiary case of
DEATH.

Dunno if you will read this because that post is a few years old, but some pharmacies order directly from chemical supply houses for things like epsom
salt and saltpeter, so they could order anything the house carries.

Perhaps you all aren't aware of how dangerous radioisotopes are. Ever heard of a dirty bomb? Yhea. A few grams of material can kill hundreds if not
thousands of people, whereas HF can get diluted in air and water to harmless levels much more easily. This of course would depend on a lot of things,
such as the halflife of the particular isotope, but if it were, say, 134Cs or 90Sr, it would be bad. 238Pu could release some nastiness beyond
imagination.

Yes, I heard that someone had recently made a compound of ClF6+ (isoelectronic with SF6 and PF6-), formerly thought to be an "impossible" compound,
and that was probably the method, in which the Kr effectively gives up a F+ ion to be evolved as the gas. But KrF2 is hard enough to make and store
(and ArF2 harder still - only by low-temperature solid-phase irradiation, and detectable only by the Ar-F bond's IR stretching frequency); presumably
it reacts with SbF5, a very powerful Lewis acid, to form KrF[SbF6]. I wonder if BrF6+ has been similarly made.
The cation NF4+ would probably be made in the above reaction if NF3 were substituted for ClF5. I understand that it has been made by other means as
salts of BF4- and PF6- and ClO4-. If it could be isolated in combination with a F- anion, that would be effectively NF5, although containing two
different types of F atom which would show up in the F-19 NMR spectrum.

Following on from my previous post on this thread, if F2O were used instead of ClF5 or NF3 in the above reaction with KrF[SbF6], because the Kr gives
up an F+ cation, it is likely to be a method of preparing the trifluorooxonium cation, OF3+, also as a salt of SbF6- or other powerful Lewis acid, but
which seems so far to have eluded isolation. This is in spite of its being theoretically thermodynamically stable, with the O being tetravalent. This
may be a route to the tetrafluoride, [OF3]F, again coiontaining two types of F atom, which apparently cannot be prepared directly.

I have a bone to pick with this. Dirty bombs as a weapon aren't meant to kill lots of people- that idea just doesn't make sense. The idea is to incite
mass hysteria, and cause lots of health problems that would push any government to the breaking point, staff-wise and money-wise.
If 'a few grams of material' can kill people like you say, bombs of this design would be employed by many militaries without a doubt. Radioisotopes of
Cs, Co, Sr, Pu, Np, etc are much, much more likely to cause one long-term health problems than they are to outright kill one.
The truth is that governments and corporations illegally and irresponsibly dump 'used' radioisotopes all the time, all over the world, and while it's
not a GOOD thing, at the moment our species has bigger fish to try, to say the least. We are quite lucky that as organic beings, we are fairly
resistant to low-power yet persistant radiation exposure, because it's all over the place (we get radiation exposure from natural carbon and potassium
isotopes every second).

Hydroflourine Acid, is said to be extremly corrosive, but I do not have access to that.
Any tip? |

In what kind of vessels they store such compounds? Since a few weeks I have some KHF2 and in my first experiment with that I already spoiled a test
tube, so I really wonder how compounds like HF/SbF5 mixes are stored or processed.
