Abstract

Abstract: Bis (trifluoromethyl) mercury,(CF&Hg, is found to react with GeBr4, Ge14, and SnBr4 to produce all of the trifluoromethyl halides,(CF3),, MX4-h, n= 1-4 when M is germanium and n= 1, 2 when M is tin. The perfluoroalkylgermanium halides are shown to be reactive, and a number of derivatives have been synthesized by reactions in which the trifluoromethylgermanium bond is retained while the halogen ligand is replaced by other ...
