Talk:Chlorine pentafluoride

message: How was it synthesized?  Probably Cl2 + 5 F2.  Thermal reaction or photochemical?
Give a couple of its reactions, if you can find any.  It probably hydrolyzes.
You could mention its 19F NMR spectrum, which should be interesting indeed.  Possibly indicating a fluxional structure.
The density is indicated as 4.5g/cc, but according to http://pdf.aiaa.org/jaPreview/AIAAJ/1968/PVJAPRE4941.pdf , the density is 1.75g/cc. Which is correct?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.189.174.243 (talk) 19:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

message: In the Requested Pictures page Chlorine Pentafluoride is listed in need of a diagram showing the molecular structure. I can easily make such a diagram, even 3d, possibly animated. I'd need some more information though. In particular, is the distance between the Chlorine atom and each Fluorine atom the same? Would it be possible to provide the length of one of the segments of the pyramid, to give a size to the whole structure, i.e. in amstrong or nanometers? Thank you.  manu3d 14:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I wanted to verify the part of the article that mentions the formation of FClO4 and HF from the reaction between ClF5 and water. There are two reasons why I am addressing this: One reason is because of the fact that, according to a very reliable outside source, a similar reaction between 1 mole of IF5 and 3 moles of water yields 1 mole of HIO3 (Iodic acid) and 5 moles of HF (Hydrogen Fluoride). The other reason is because this same source also claims an analogous reaction happens with ClF5 and water; this reaction, of coarse, would form HClO3 (chloric acid) instead of HIO3. Since there is a confliction of information between this article and the other source, I just thought that I needed some input on what the true products of this reaction really are.
P.S. - the source is called "The Chemical Thesuarus" or "ChemThes4", and its an online or downloaded thesuarus that is free to own/use(Wongizzle06 04:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Hydrolysis of ClF5 

message: I'm just reading Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John D. Clark, a sterling work of mad science. As a popular science book it's not an academic source, but it would be very useful as a historical one - this chemical was very important and was secret for a time, known only as "Compound A". Discussion p87-89. Long out of print, but there's a PDF up at the sciencemadness.org library - David Gerard (talk) 10:10, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
