The Hammett acidity function is a measure of acidity that is used for very concentrated solutions of strong acids, including superacids.
What are Superacids used for?
Common uses of superacids include providing an environment to create, maintain, and characterize carbocations. Carbocations are intermediates in numerous useful reactions such as those forming plastics and in the production of high-octane gasoline.
What is the Hammett acidity function of Fluoroantimonic acid?
1 Fluoroantimonic acid has a H0 (Hammett acidity function) value of -31.3. Dissolves glass and many other materials and protonates nearly all organic compounds (such as everything in your body).
