Sulfur dioxide silicon halides

Perfluoroalkyllithium reagents react with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, silicon and tin halides, alkyl halides, carbonates, esters, boron trifluoride-imine complexes, and sulfur dioxide. ... 

The fluorovinyllithium reagents are thermally unstable (vu/e supra) and are reacted with electro-philes at low temperatures. These reagents undergo usual reactions with a variety of electrophiles including ketones, esters, alkanoyl chlorides, epoxides (e.g.. formation of 6 ), oxetanes, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, tin and silicon halides, and trifluoromethancsulfonates. The reaction of 2,2-difluoro-1 -(tosyloxy)vinyllithium (5) with trialkylboranes followed by a second electrophile is an attractive route to functionalized 1.1-difluoroalkenes. e.g. 7. ... 

Nonflammable gas. Chlorine pentafluoride is a highly reactive substance. It reacts explosively with water. Paper, cloth, wood, and other organic matter would burst into flames upon contact with the liquid or vapor of chlorine pentafluoride. Vigorous to violent reaction occurs with metals. Reactions with oxides, sulfides, halides, and carbides of metals are violent. It forms explosive mixtures with hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon gases, ammonia, phosphine, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. It reacts violently with sulfur, phosphorus, silicon compounds, charcoal, and mineral acids. 

The yff-cristobalite structure is named after one mineral form of silicon dioxide, S102. The silicon atoms are in the same positions as both the zinc and sulfurs in zinc blende (or the carbons in diamond, which we look at later in Section 1.6.5) each pair of silicon atoms is joined by an oxygen midway between. The only metal halide adopting this structure is beryllium fluoride, Bep2, and it is characterized by 4 2 coordination.
