Measurements have been made of the spark yield of S{sub 2}F{sub 10} and S{sub 2}OF{sub 10} as a function of O{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O concentration. In addition the formation of S{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 10} is reported. The spark yield of S{sub 2}F{sub 10} is reduced when either oxygen or water is added to SF{sub 6}. On the other hand the yield of S{sub 2}OF{sub 10} is increased when either oxygen or water is added, oxygen having the greater effect. A simple model is presented based on a common SF{sub 5} precursor to S{sub 2}F{sub 10} and S{sub 2}OF{sub 10} showing good agreement with the yields of both byproducts in O{sub 2}/SF{sub 6} and H{sub 2}O/SF{sub 6} mixtures. The yield of S{sub 2}F{sub 10} is found to be greatest when the spark chambers is very dry and the electrodes are well conditioned.
