Abstract

Major improvements in the synthesis of 1, 1, 4, 4-tetrafluorobutatriene (1) are presented. Despite many attempts to isolate new metal complexes of 1 only an iron complex containing a ligand which is composed of a partially hydrolyzed tetrafluorobutatriene-dimer and carbon monoxide could be isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Certain metal centers and solvents accelerate the decomposition of 1. First attempts to synthesize 1, 1- ...
