A detailed study of the reactions of the acetone•BF3 complex in excess acetone has been carried out by "F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy. It is shown that rapid reversible fluorine exchange processes occur in solution, in addition to the slower aldol condensation–dehydration reaction. Two of the new 19F absorptions which appear during the reaction are shown to arise from BF3 complexes of donors which are formed by condensation and dehydration of acetone. The rate of the aldol condensation reaction is shown to fall off markedly as an increasing proportion of the BF3 becomes complexed with water; thus BF3 catalysis of the reaction appears to depend on the existence of a ketone–BF3 donor–acceptor bond. 1H and 19F n.m.r. studies of the acetone•BF3 complex in methylene chloride throw some light on the apparent greatly decreased reactivity of the complex in this solvent. Evidence is presented for the reversibility of the first step of the condensation reaction.

19F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) has been used to study the reactions occurring in the systems SbCl5–SbF5–SO2ClF, SO2Cl2–SbF5–SO2ClF, COF2–SbF5–SO2ClF, COF2–AsF5–SO2ClF, and COClF–SbF5–SO2ClF. Ionization occurs in SbCl5–SbF5–SO2ClF, yielding antimony chloro- and chloro-fluorocations and antimony polyfluoroanions. Donor-acceptor complexes are formed between SbF5 and SO2Cl2, COF2 or COClF at low temperatures and also between AsF5 and COF2. In all the complexes the ligand is oxygen-bonded. At higher temperatures halogen exchange and ionization occurs in SO2Cl2–SbF5–SO2ClF and COClF–SbF5–SO2ClF giving SO2ClF and COF2 complexes, respectively, together with antimony cations and polyfluoroanions. The alkyl chloride –SbF5 reaction is also shown to give chlorine-containing cations of antimony.
