It is shown that a number of phosphates ionize in sulfuric acid to give the P(OH)4+ ion. Triphenyl phosphine and triethyl phosphate are fully protonated but phosphorus oxyfluoride and phosphorus oxychloride are shown to be nonelectrolytes.Ammonium metavanadate and vanadium pentoxide give the acid H[VO(HSO4)4] and there is evidence that the dimer H[V2O3(HSO4)6] and possibly higher polymers are present in increasing amounts with increasing concentration.

Solutions of tetramethyl tin trimethyl tin sulfate, di-n-butyl tin diacetate, tetraphenyl tin, and triphenyl tin hydroxide in. 100% sulfuric acid have been investigated by cryoscopic and conductimetric methods. Tetramethyl tin reacts with sulfuric acid with the evolution of methane and the formation of trimethyl tin hydrogensulfate. Trialkyl tin hydrogensulfates and dialkyl tin dihydrogensulfates behave as strong bases. It is probable that the cationic species formed are protonated hydrogensulfates rather than "stannonium" ions. Phenyl-substituted tin compounds are cleaved in sulfuric acid with the formation of benzene sulfonic acid and the complex hexa(hydrogensulfato) stannic acid, H2Sn(HSO4)6, and its anions. Lead tetraacetate gives yellow solutions containing hexa(hydrogensulfato) plumbic acid, H2PB(HSO4O6, and its anions.

Measurement of freezing point depressions for the non-electrolytes, CCl4. CH3SO2F, and (CF3CO)2O permit calculation of the cryoscopic constant for trifluoroacetic acid, HOTFA. Water is shown to give freezing point depressions lower than those for non-electrolytes and this is attributed to association. Freezing point depressions for NaOTFA, KOTFA, and CsOTFA have been measured and accounted for in terms of ion-pair dissociation constants previously determined from electrical conductivity measurements. The results cast doubt on the existence of triple ions in this solvent.
