Abstract
First evidence for the existence of free trifluoromethyl anion CF3 (-) has been obtained. The 3D-caged potassium cation in [K(crypt-222)](+) is inaccessible to CF3 (-) , thus rendering it uncoordinated ("naked"). Ionic [K(crypt-222)](+) CF3 (-) has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, solution NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and reactivity toward electrophiles.Entities:
