yeah you could use carbonate instead of the sulfate. yeah, perxenates are absurd for us to think of

[Gilded]

Have perxenates even been manufactured in larger quantities? I read somewhere that barium salts can form interesting intersitial compounds with perxenic acid (or the ion, can't remember) with the xenon-atom trapped inside an insoluble barium salt crystal.

not in large quantities.

 

i'd like to see perxenic acid act on a piece of wood

I'd imagine the reaction is quite similar to the one of osmium tetroxide. Which means pretty severe.

Indeed. And very literally.
