16. In most cases, fluorination by molecular fluorine has been carried out using fluorotrichloromethane (expensive) as the solvent and hence, the method as a whole is considered uneconomical. However, as stated below, solvent was not indispensable for this kind of fluorination reaction.

21. Since 6a belongs to the class of so-called hypervalent molecules (molecules with more than an octet of electrons around the central atom), one should consider the participation of electron-rich three-center bonding. The results suggests that the best stabilization will arise when the terminal atoms of the trigonal bipyramidal structure are electron-negative ones. Martin J.
