Under the heading of "Modern Acid-Base Theory", in the section about Lewis acids and bases, the formula for pentachloropyridine is given as Cl5C6N. This should read, Cl5C5N, where the N atom is part of the aromatic ring structure, presenting its lone pair of electrons to the passing world, (and thus making this compound a Lewis base).
Incorrect formula. Yow!
