From Trifluoromethylamino Tellurium Pentafluoride

Trifluoromethylamino tellurium pentafluoride heated with potassium fluoride or mercu-ry(II) fluoride yielded the respective pentafluorotelluro(trifluoromethyl)amides  

Pyrolysis of potassium pentafluorotelluro(trifluoromethyl)amide produced difluoromethy-leneamino tellurium pentafluoride. This compound did not isomerize to trifluoromethyl-imino tellurium tetrafluoride  

When trifluoromethylamino tellurium pentafluoride and excess potassium fluoride were slowly warmed from — 78° to 0° over 12 hours and held at room temperature for six hours, (trifluoromethylimino)fluoromethylamino] tellurium pentafluoride was isolated by trap-to-trap distillation in the — 40° trap as a colorless, fairly nonvolatile liquid.  

Mercury bis[pentafluorotelluro(trifluoromethyl)amide] reacted with elemental halogens and interhalogens to yield halo(trifluoromethyl)amino tellurium pentafluoride The less electronegative halogens of the interhalogens Join the amide-nitrogen atom.
