An advantage of this initiation mode is that it generates an acidic environment in situ, further promoting the reaction. On this basis, give all products of the initiation reaction shown below.", "text_images": [ { "file": "Exam-16-T3-1-1-prompt.png", "description": "The figure shows a reaction in which the species on the left is a salt composed of a circled negatively charged `PF_6^-` anion and a circled positively charged cation; its corresponding SMILES is '[Ar][I+][Ar].F[P-](F)(F)(F)(F)F'.
