Trifluoroacetate complexes of 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis> elements: Specific features of syntheses and structures

Data on the syntheses and structures of trifluoroacetates of 3d elements mainly based on our results are reviewed. Specific features of the coordination chemistry of mono-, oligo-, and polynuclear trifluoroacetate complexes are successively considered. Special attention is given to oxo- and fluorotrifluoroacetates containing the trinuclear triangular fragment as a structural unit. Structural features of trifluoroacetates compared to other carboxylates are discussed.
