Syntheses of quaternary 1-alkyl-3-perfluoroalkyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 4-triazolium iodides have led to a variety of new quaternary salts via metathesis reactions. 1, 4, 5-Trimethyl-3- trifluoro-methyl-1, 2, 4-triazolium iodide (6) with LiN (SO2CF3) 2, KSO3CF3, AgClO4, AgBF4; 1-(3-fluoropropyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 4-triazolium iodide (7) with LiN (SO2CF3) 2; and 1, 4, 5-trimethyl-3-perfluorooctyl-1, 2, 4-triazolium iodide (8) with LiN ( ...
