摘要

Process for producing metal bis-triflimide compounds having the formula: [M x ] n+ [(N(SO 2 CF 3 ) 2 ) (nx-yz) ] (nx-yz)- [L y ] z- wherein M is a metal selected from the metals in groups 5 to 10, 12 and 14 to 16 and Cu, Au, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra, Y, La, Ac, Hf, Rf, Ga, In, Tl, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu and the actinides; L is a negative or neutral ligand; n is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8; x is greater than or equal to 1; y is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8; and z is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
