A novel synthesis of hexakis(trifluoromethyl)cyclotriphosphazene. Single-crystal X-ray structures of N3P3(CF3)6 and N3P3F6.
Reaction of hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene (N3P3F6) with trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane in the presence of a catalytic amount of cesium fluoride in THF produced hexakis(trifluoromethyl)cyclotriphosphazene [N3P3(CF3)6] in 90% isolated yield. N3P3(CF3)6 is fully characterized by melting point, IR, NMR (19F, 13C, 31p), MS, and elemental analysis data. Single-crystal X-ray structures of N3P3(CF3)6 and N3P3F6 are reported.
