Fluorosulfate derivatives of niobium and tantalum and their behavior as components of novel superacid systems

The goal of this study was to develop new superacid systems based on fluorosulfuric acid, HSO₃F, (the strongest monoprotonic Bronsted acid) and metal fluorosulfates capable of acting as Lewis acids. The in situ oxidation of niobium and tantalum in HSO₃F by bis(fluorosulfuryl) peroxide, S₂O₆F₂ result...
