Li. Denisovich et al., Electrochemical synthesis and properties of sigma-fluoroacyl and sigma-perfluoroalkyl transition metal complexes, RUSS CHEM B, 49(2), 2000, pp. 375-377
The electrochemical synthesis of sigma-fluoroacyl complexes [M]-sigma-CORf
(M = C5H5(CO)(3)W or (CO)(5)Mn; R-f = CF3 or C4F9) was performed according
to two procedures: (1) the preliminary electrochemical synthesis of [M](-)
from [M](2) followed by reaction with a fluorine-containing compound and (2
) the electrochemical synthesis of [M](-) in the presence of a fluorine-con
taining compound. Trifluoroacetic anhydride was demonstrated to be the best
acylating agent in these reactions. The electrochemical properties of the
resulting complexes were studied.
