The result was Speedy deleted - you can't have a hydroxide without oxygen. Blatant enough for me who didn't do undergrad chemistry... Peridon (talk) 20:00, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hydroxide sulfur hexafluoride

Hoax article. What I really want is for someone to G3 this, but I’m not sure whether this really qualifies as a blatant hoax (it should be blatant to anyone who has taken a couple of undergrad chemistry courses). The most obvious part is that you can’t produce a sulfur- and fluorine-containing compound out of two reagents neither of which contain any sulfur or fluorine atoms (see TNT and nitroglycerine). Secondly, sulfur does not take a valence of 7 (its maximum oxidation state is 6) so unless I’m missing something, I suspect the molecule is also impossible. (There are also a couple of other irregularities, e.g. the chemical formula does not match the name of the chemical, but I suppose that’s less important.)

Speedy Delete - Might as well tag it with G3 and see what an administrator thinks. 63579 milliseconds? Looking pretty hoax-y to me. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
