Magic Acid<br />
'Magic Acid' is the name given to one of the strongest of the inorganic 'superacids'. It is made by mixing together antimony pentafluoride (SbF5) and fluorosulphonic acid (HSO3F), and it is so strong (pKa = -20) that it is capable of protonating even saturated alkanes, like methane, to produce carbonium ions.<br /><br />Man we neeeed some of that.
