(Trifluoromethyl)selenium(VI) Compounds, Synthesis and Properties of Tetrafluoro(trifluoromethyl)selenium Halides and Trifluoromethaneselenonates

Fluorination of CF3SeF3 with liquid F2 or AgF2 leads to CF3SeF5, which decomposes to CF4 and SeF4.With water CF4 and SeOF2 are formed.Addition of ClF to CF3SeF3 gives CF3SeF4Cl, which splits mainly into CF3Cl and SeF4.Hydrolysis provides analogously CF3Cl and SeOF2.A neutral concentrated solution of KMnO4 oxydizes CF3SeO2H in water in good yields to CF3SeO3K, the free acid of which is obtained with 74percent HClO4.The aqueous solution can be concentrated up to 90percent, but above this concentration spontaneous decomposition to CF4, COF2, and SeO2 occurs.Trifluoromethaneselenonates are stable at room temperature but decompose when heated.
