Abstract
The reactions of trifluoroacetic anhydride with palladium, nickel, and copper atoms at low temperatures have been studied by spectroscopic and synthetic techniques. Results indicate that metal-anhydride complexes are formed at low temperatures and subsequently decompose to give metal trifluoroacetates upon warming to ambient. The order of stability of these complexes is believed to be Ni < Cu < Pd. The reaction of Ni(CO)4 with trifluoroacetic anhydride also yields bis(trifluoroacetate) nickel.
