Trifluoroacetate compounds physical properties

Although a considerable amount of data has now been reported concerning the physical and chemical properties of inorganic compounds containing the trifluoroacetate group, little attempt has been made previously to report and examine these properties in a systematic manner. This review will attempt to do this and to show that, although trifluoroacetate is a member of the carboxylate family, it has individual characteristics which lead to some unique and interesting chemistry.
