Talk:Ditellurium decafluoride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Does Te₂F₁₀ even exist?

Apparently, ditellurium decafluoride has not yet been prepared. What was originally thought to be Te₂F₁₀ is now known to be O(TeF₅)₂.

I have changed the article to reflect the facts--Wiki should not perpetuate urban chemical myths! We need an article on Te₂F₁₀O.--Axiosaurus (talk) 11:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
