A new synthesis has been developed for preparation of M(R)" metal alkyls and other similar compounds. The reactive free radicals CH3•, CF3•, and SiF3• have been cocondensed with metals on a cold finger at -196 °C and oxidize the metals to the compounds Hg(CF3)2, Te(CF3)2, Te2(CF3)2, Bi(CF3)3, Hg(CH3)2, Cd(CH3)2, Bi(CFI3)3, Sn(CH3)4), Ge(CH3)4, and Hg(SiF3)2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
