Resumo

Donor-free bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium, (CF3)2Cd, has been obtained at −40 °C from diethylcadmium and CF3I in a quantitative yield. The Raman spectrum of (CF3)2Cd is reported. In the presence of non-coordinating solvents the highly reactive compound eliminates CF2 even below −5°C. Its feasibility as a low temperature difluorocarbene source has been demonstrated by difluorocyclopropenation reactions with some alkenes and alkynes as well as by insertion into metal-chlorine bonds. The NMR spectra of some CF2Cl- and CF3-containing arsanes are reported.
