Fluoroantimonic acid is the strongest superacid based on the measured value of its Hammett acidity function (H 0), which has been determined for various ratios of HF:SbF 5. The H 0 of HF is −15. [5] A solution of HF containing 1 mol % of SbF 5 is −20. The H 0 is −21 for 10 mol%. For > 50 mol % SbF 5, the H 0 is between −21 and −23.
In chemistry, a superacid (according to the original definition) is an acid with an acidity greater than that of 100% pure sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4), [1] which has a Hammett acidity function (H 0) of −12. According to the modern definition, a superacid is a medium in which the chemical potential of the proton is higher than in pure sulfuric ...
Magic acid (FSO 3 H·SbF 5) is a superacid consisting of a mixture, most commonly in a 1:1 molar ratio, of fluorosulfuric acid (HSO 3 F) and antimony pentafluoride (SbF 5).This conjugate Brønsted–Lewis superacid system was developed in the 1960s by Ronald Gillespie and his team at McMaster University, [1] and has been used by George Olah to stabilise carbocations and hypercoordinated ...
Carborane acids H(CXB 11 Y 5 Z 6) (X, Y, Z = H, Alk, F, Cl, Br, CF 3) are a class of superacids, [1] some of which are estimated to be at least one million times stronger than 100% pure sulfuric acid in terms of their Hammett acidity function values (H 0 ≤ –18) and possess computed pK a values well below –20, establishing them as some of the strongest known Brønsted acids.

Generically IUPAC defines a superbase as a "compound having a very high basicity, such as lithium diisopropylamide." [5] Superbases are often defined in two broad categories, organic and organometallic.

Acid strength is the tendency of an acid, symbolised by the chemical formula, to dissociate into a proton, +, and an anion, .The dissociation or ionization of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.
