Organic acid anhydride Organic acid anhydride An organic acid anhydride is an acid anhydride that is an organic compound. An acid anhydride is a compound that has two acyl groups bonded to the same oxygen atom. A common type of organic acid anhydride is a carboxylic anhydride, where the parent acid is a carboxylic acid, the formula of the anhydride being (RC(O))O. Symmetrical acid anhydrides of this type are named by replacing the word "acid" in the name of the parent carboxylic acid by the word "anhydride". Thus, (CHCO)O is called "acetic anhydride." Mixed (or unsymmetrical) acid anhydrides, such as acetic formic anhydride
Hexafluorophosphoric acid attacks glass. Upon heating, it decomposes to generate HF. Crystalline has been obtained as the hexahydrate, wherein is enclosed in truncated octahedral cages defined by the water and protons. NMR spectroscopy indicates that solutions derived from this hexahydrate contain significant amounts of HF. Hexafluorophosphoric acid Hexafluorophosphoric acid is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula HOPF. Although the formula is often written as HPF, this compound is only available as the hydrate. This strong Brønsted acid features a non-coordinating anion, hexafluorophosphate (). It is formed from the reaction of hydrogen fluoride with phosphorus pentafluoride. Like many strong acids, hexafluorophosphoric acid
