Despite being unreactive towards many neutral compounds even in the sense of association, Cr + undergoes gas‐phase adduct formation with hexafluoroacetone. In the presence of water, the monoadduct undergoes three consecutive CF bond hydrolysis reactions, which may be followed, after complexation of water, by even a fourth CF bond cleavage (see scheme).
