A method for producing trifluoroiodomethane in which a metal Mt selected from the group magnesium, zinc, cadmium, bismuth and tin is reacted in a first step (a) with a trifluorohalomethane, and the resulting reaction mixture is further reacted in a second step (b) with a component containing iodine to produce CF.sub.3 I. Compounds corresponding to the formula CF.sub.3.Zn.X.nL are also described.

Method for producing CF.sub.3 I

A process for producing N-fluorosulfonamides by reaction of a sulfonamide with fluorine in a solvent mixture of halogenated hydrocarbon an nitrile is described together with new N-fluorosulfonamides which are produced in accordance with this process.
