The highly toxic compound S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ is formed in SF/sub 6/ following spark discharges. When the spark cell is dried, the S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ yield was 6.8 /times/ 10/sup /minus/11/ mol/J at an SF/sub 6/ pressure P = 133 kPa. Moisture appears to suppress the S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ yield, although once formed, the S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ is quite stable with respect to moisture. This could explain the variation in observation from experiment to experiment in the literature. These results also raise important questions as to the influence of drying agents that are used in high-voltage systems on the S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ yield. 13 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
