“…For example, silver trifluoroacetate gives a complex mixture of products 372-380 (identified in mixture by GC-MS) in reaction with Q [188]. (146) Interestingly, that Ag + under reaction conditions was reduced and formation of silver metal was observed in reaction of Q with silver trifluoroacetate in methanol [176,188]. The fact that in reactions of cubane or tricyclo[4.1.0.0 2.7 ]heptane with silver trifluoroacetate no formation of Ag 0 observed, is explained based on difference in values of adiabatic ionization potentials (IP) of reagents (7.40, 8.74 and 8.15 eV for Q , cubane and tricyclo[4.1.0.0 2.7 ]heptane, respectively).…”
