Perfluorophenyl derivatives of the elements XXVIII. Some reactions of fluoro-aromatic acetylenes

Reactions between caesium fluoride, bromine, palladium chloride, triiron dodecacarbonyl, dicobalt octacarbonyl, nickelocene, cyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl or decarborane with, acetylenes containing one highly fluorinated aromatic group are described. The products mainly resembled those obtained from analogous experiments involving diphenylacetylene, although in the case of the PdCl₂ reaction no intermediate derivatives could be isolated.
