In the reaction between the trinitromethane potassium salt and xenon difluoride in acetonitrile in the presence of benzene and THF the trinitromethyl derivatives of benzene and THF are formed in addition to the fluorination products.This indicates that the reaction takes place through the formation of trinitromethyl radicals.

The products from the reaction of xenon difluoride with the potassium salts of a series of dinitromethyl compounds ( dinitromethane, trinitromethane, 1,1-dinitroethane, phenyldinitromethane) in methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and acetonitrile were investigated.On the basis of the data from analysis by GLC and UV spectroscopy it was found that in most cases the reaction takes place with the participation of solvent molecules.The proposed reaction mechanism includes a stage of one-electron oxidation of the anion of the dinitromethyl compound by the XeF2 molecule to a dinitromethyl radical.
