Reaction is effected between {TAIL ~ an aryliodonium tosylate} and {HEAD ~ an active hydrogen aliphatic organic compound}, such as dimedone, to produce an intermediate arylalkyliodonium tosylate salt which is thereafter reacted with a polyfluoro metal or metalloid salt of an alkali or alkaline earth metal to produce the desired arylalkyliodonium polyfluoro metal or metalloid salt, such as dimedonylphenyliodonium hexafluoroarsenate
