A bimetallic system of Pd/CuF2, catalytic in Pd and stoichiometric in Cu, is very efficient and selective for the coupling of fairly hindered aryl silanes with aryl, anisyl, phenylaldehyde, p-cyanophenyl, p-nitrophenyl, or pyridyl iodides of conventional size. The reaction involves the activation of the silane by CuII, followed by disproportionation and transmetalation from the CuI(aryl) to PdII, upon which coupling takes place. CuIII formed during disproportionation is reduced to CuI(aryl) by excess aryl silane, so that the CuF2 system is fully converted into CuI(aryl) and used in the coupling. Moreover, no extra source of fluoride is needed. Interesting size selectivity towards coupling is found in competitive reactions of hindered aryl silanes. Easily accessible [PdCl2(IDM)(AsPh3)] (IDM = 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) is by far the best catalyst, and the isolated products are essentially free from As or Pd (2: In the Cu-promoted Hiyama process, CuF2 plays the role of two reagents to provide full conversion into the fluoride and copper is also required to transform bulky trialkoxysilanes in situ into CuAr. CuAr immediately transmetalates to Pd, which makes the otherwise inaccessible Pd-catalyzed coupling of bulky arylsilanes feasible and highly efficient.

Te(C6F5)4 was prepared from the reactions of TeCl4 or Te(C6F5)2Cl2 with Grignard reagents or AgC6F5 in moderate to good yields. Substitution reactions with Me3SiX (X = Cl, Br, OSO2CF3), with equimolar amounts of Br2, with AgNO3 and with H[BF4] or BF3·OEt2 yielded the Te(C6F5)3X derivatives (X = Cl, Br, OSO2CF3, NO3, BF4). Oxidation reactions of Cd, Hg, and Pd0 complexes led to Te(C6F5)2 and the corresponding bis(pentafluorophenyl) derivatives M(C6F5)2 (M = Cd, Hg, Pd) and with InBr to In(C6F5)2Br. From very slow hydrolysis of Te(C6F5)4 the oxide Te(C6F5)2O was prepared. The thermal decomposition, the NMR and mass spectra of the partially new compounds are discussed. The crystal structures of Te(C6F5)3Br (monoclinic, P21/a, Z = 4), [Te(C6F5)3][OSO2CF3] (monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 16) and [Te(C6F5)2O]2 (triclinic, P1, Z = 2) were determined.
