Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of an electronic component comprising a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) using compounds of the formula I R1-(A1-Z1)r—(B1)n—(Z2-A2)s-Sp-G ??(I) in which the groups occurring have the meanings defined in claim 1; the present invention furthermore relates to the use of the components in electronic switching elements and to compounds for the production of the SAM.

Abstract: A method of making a polyfunctional polyfluorinated compound includes combining first components that include a polyfluorinated cyclic compound having 4 to 7 ring carbon atoms and at least one of osmium tetroxide, ruthenium tetroxide or a precursor thereof and forming a polyfluorinated dicarboxylic acid. Two of the ring carbon atoms of the polyfluorinated cyclic compound form a double bond or an epoxide. The precursor reacts with an oxidant to form ruthenium tetroxide. Methods also include converting the polyfluorinated dicarboxylic acid to a polyfluorinated dicarboxylic acid halide and converting the polyfluorinated dicarboxylic acid halide to other polyfunctional polyfluorinated compounds.
