“…Firstly, the extraordinary oxidation power could be shown by the oxidation of platinum metals leading to several unique compounds. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Secondly, we could demonstrate that the assumed infinite chain growth of polysulfuric acids H 2 S n O 3n + 1 , that is with increasing SO 3 content, is doubtful. [31,32] Nevertheless, the assumption that the Brønsted acidity of H 2 SO 4 /SO 3 mixtures increases with increasing SO 3 content seems reasonable.…”
