%X The gas phase reaction between the trifluoroacetate anion and perfluoroacetic anhydride produces a 1 : 1 adduct. The decompositions of this adduct suggest a tetrahedral species rather than a loose association complex. If this is so, this constitutes the first direct observation of the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate produced by anionic displacement at a carbonyl centre.
