A quite surprising development, even to experienced workers in elemental-fluorine chemistry, has been the synthesis of trifluoromethyl organometallic compounds by direct fluorination of metal alkyls (25). Even more surprising is the fact that, for certain metal and metalloid systems, such as the reaction of elemental fluorine with tetramethyl-germane, this t5rpe of low-temperature synthesis is a practical method 26) for the laboratory preparation of the perfluoro analog. 

This method of low-temperature, direct fluorination involves very precise control of fluorine concentrations during the reaction, and initial high dilution of the fluorine with helium. The reaction of elemental fluorine with organometallic compounds is conducted (27) in a cryogenic-zone reactor (see Fig. 8) at temperatures in the range of - 78 to...

Another approach to isolate the catalyst from the products is the application of perfluorinated catalytic systems, dissolved in fluorinated media [63], which are not non-miscible with the products and some commonly used solvents for catalysis like THE or toluene at ambient temperature. Typical fluorinated media include perfluorinated alkanes, trialkylamines and dialkylethers. These systems are able to switch their solubility properties for organic and organometallic compounds based on changes of the solvation ability of the solvent by moving to higher temperatures. This behavior is similar to the above-mentioned thermomorphic multiphasic PEG-modified systems [65-67].

Studies on the organo-transition metal chemistry of OFCOT and other fluorocarbons indicate that organometallic molecules with perfluorinated carbon skeletons possess structural and chemical properties equally as rich as their hydrocarbon analogues. Their structures and chemistry have helped our understanding of the effects of fluorine substitution on the physical and chemical behavior of organometallic compounds.
