#Bismuth dications and CF3 groups: this combination yields Lewis superacids, record values in soft Lewis acidity (modified Gutmann-Beckett method) and pronounced catalytic activity in phosphane oxide reduction. Just out in @chemicalscience.rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/sc/article/d.... Congrats to the team!

A tweet I made: “Acids are substances that donate H+ ions to be in a stable state. Bases are substances that accept H+ ions to be stable. There are, however, “superacids” that are /so/ acidic they can force other acids to accept H+, making them act as a base. So anyways that’s why mpreg is hot.”

There are some superacids which can dissolve a wax candle.
Unfortunately they will also dissolve your candlestick, dishwasher etc.

I had fun averting this trope *hard* in my writing, though Sophie will eventually invent some stuff from Earth (in particular single-molecule ceramic deposition using supercritical carbon dioxide and some kinds of superacids) that have niche industrial implications.
