杜邦公司的科学家们发现,当氟化的阴碳离子与有机碘化合物反应时有异常的物质产生。所得到的引起注意的高化合价物质是以前绝没见过或分离出来过的。目前,这些多卤化物或许还没有什么实验价值,但是它们正促使研究者们更深入地进入未知的和可能有用的氟碳化学领域。对氟化阴碳离子的研究是由杜邦公司威尔明顿实验站的化学家William B.Farn-ham领导的,他和他的两个同事William J. Scientists at DuPont have found that unusual substances are produced when fluorinated carbanions react with organic iodine compounds. The resulting high valency material of interest has never been seen or isolated before. At present, these polyhalides may not have any experimental value yet, but they are driving researchers deeper into unknown and potentially useful areas of fluorocarbon chemistry. The study of fluoridated carbon was led by William B. Farn-ham, a chemist at the DuPont Wilmington Experimental Station, who, along with two of his colleagues, William J.
