| Abstract: | A New Synthesis of Perfluoroorgano Manganese and Rhenium Compounds Pentacarbonyl perfluoroorgano manganese and rhenium compounds M(CO)5Rf (M = Mn, Re; Rf = CF3, C2F5, C3F7, C4F9, C6F13, C6F5) are formed as colourless solids or liquids in good yields from the reactions of M(CO)5Br with Cd(Rf)2 complexes in CH2Cl2 either in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of AgBF4] or catalytic amounts of CuI. In the presence of e. g. CH3CN the mono or disubstituted complexes M(CO)4(CH3CN)Rf or M(CO)3(CH3CN)2Rf are formed. |
