On pentavalent perfluoroorgano bismuth compounds

Abstract
The reactions of Bi(Rf)3 (Rf = CF3, C6F5) with a series of oxidizing halogenation reagents have been investigated. From the reactions of Bi(Rf)3 with Cl2, Br2, I2, ICl, and IF5 no oxidation to Bi(V) compounds can be detected; in all cases the Bi(III) halides and the corresponding RfX compounds are formed. Only the reaction of Bi(C6F5)3 with XeF2 yields the perfluoroorganobismuth(V) compound Bi(C6F5)3F2. Keywords: bismuth perfluoroorganic compounds, polar perfluoroorganylations, oxidation with xenon difluoride.
