Trifluoroiodomethane reacts with triethyl-and tri-n-butylarsine, and tri-n-butylphosphine to give products of the type R2MCF3. Heptafluoroiodopropane reacts similarly with trimethylarsine. Trifluoroiodomethane also reacts with the compounds (CH3) 2AsX (X= C6H5, Cl, I) and CH3AsI2 to give CH3As (CF3) 2; and in most of these reactions the compound CH3As (CF3) I is also formed, which is converted to the compound CH3As ( ...
