Conditions and reaction pathway for synthesising Fluorine using chemical methods
[edit]A 2023 paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/anie.202307218) shows that the previous proposed mechanism involved in synthesising Fluorine, namely that Manganese (IV) Fluoride is thermodynamically unstable, is flawed. The paper shows that the reaction actually requires an excess of Antimony (V) Fluoride to proceed at room temperatures. Also, that the original byproduct of Manganese (III) Fluoride is not accurate, a Mn2+ compound is produced instead. I am not used to adding citations, can someone help to add this.

Article error
[edit]Hello,
It's a less time I have seen this article error. I don't know how to edit it or undid it, because when I'm undid @OAbot's edit, the top of the page is gone. What should I do now...? Arief Azazie Zain (talk) 14:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have reverted everything back. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 14:53, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oh thanks :) Arief Azazie Zain (talk) 16:16, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Is it okay to change remove GHS09 and replace it with GHS04? https://www.airgas.com/msds/001061.pdf (source) Zfoilchy (talk) 14:24, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- Just make the change and explain why in the Edit Summary. Add the source at the same time. Johnjbarton (talk) 15:56, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- Alright, thank you!!! :) Zfoilchy (talk) 19:19, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
I accidentally messed up the citations
[edit]I have no idea how to properly add citations in chemboxes, if someone could fix my mistake I'd be very grateful. Zfoilchy (talk) 21:33, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- I fixed the ref, by reusing the other ref in the chembox. As far as I can tell the problem you had was a stray character in the citation itself, maybe a line feed?, rather than a chembox issue. Johnjbarton (talk) 21:47, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- I see, thank you so much!! I genuinely appreciate it :). Zfoilchy (talk) 21:54, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
