A new synthesis for methyl/trifluoromethyl organometallic compounds by low temperature cocondensation of trifluoromethyl radicals and main group methyl alkyls
The reaction of trifluoromethylradicals produced in a radio frequency discharge of hexafluoroethane with trimethylphosphine, tetramethyltin, dimethylmercury, tri-methylbismuth and tetramethyllead gave complexes with methyl and trifluoromethyl substituents. The compounds dimethyl(trifluoromethyl)phosphine, trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)tin, methyl(trifluoromethyl)mercury, bis(trifluoromethyl)mercury, dim
