The history of silyl cations has all the makings of a drama but with a happy ending. Being
considered reactive intermediates impossible to isolate in the condensed phase for …

Partially fluorinated alkanes, arenes, and alkenes can be transformed by a variety of
transition metal and lanthanide systems. Although the C–H bond is weaker than the C–F …

Organofluorine compounds have attracted extensive attention in various industrial fields due
to their unique chemical and physical properties. Despite increasing demand in a wide …

With fluoroaromatic compounds increasingly employed as scaffolds in agrochemicals and
active pharmaceutical ingredients, the development of methods which facilitate …

Delivering metallomimetic reactivity from simple p-block compounds is highly desirable in
the search to replace expensive, scarce precious metals by cheap and abundant elements …

The methyl-d3 group is a new isotopic functional group for medicine design. In this work, we
report an electrochemical deuteration approach for converting aromatic trifluoromethyl to …

One-electron oxidation of palladium (0) and platinum (0) bis (phosphine) complexes
enables isolation of a homologous series of linear d9 metalloradicals of the form [M (PR3) …

A homogeneous rhodium–indium catalyst hydrodefluorinates substrates bearing strong aryl
C–F bonds, including difluoro-and fluorobenzene, using 1 atm of H2, alkoxide bases, and …

A systematic study of the catalyst structure and overall charge for the dehydropolymerization
of H3B· NMeH2 to form N-methyl polyaminoborane is reported using catalysts based upon …

The activation of a carbon‐fluorine bond is one of the most challenging topics in modern
synthetic organic chemistry due to their low reactivity compared to other carbon‐halogen …
