Abstract

The active species for the liquid phase fluorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) was produced by in situ reaction between HF and SbCl5. By comparison with various commercial antimony mixed halides (SbCl4F, SbCl3F2, SbCl2F3 and SbClF4), the active species, produced in situ in our conditions, could be composed by SbCl4F or/and SbCl3F2 or a mixture of both.
