SYNTHESES OF FERROCENYLFLUOROPHOSPHINIC ACID AND RELATED COMPOUNDS1

Abstract Ferrocenylfluorophosphinic acid (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4POH(O)F), ferrocenyldifluorophosphine oxide (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4POF2) and ferrocenyltetrafluorophosphorane (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4PF4) are prepared from the reaction of ferrocene with PF5 in CH2Cl2 and are characterized by proton, carbon, fluorine and phosphorus resonance spectra.
