Sulfur hexafluoride is widely used as an inert dielectric in a variety of electrical devices.'In the event of an electrical discharge, SF6 can give rise to a variety of byproducts including some sulfur oxyfluorides when oxygen sources are present. Pure calibration standards of these byproducts are necessary for detailed analysis of such systems. Recent requests for pure samples of bis (pentafluorosulfur) oxide, SFSOSF,, and bis (pentaflu0rosulfur) ...
