The activation of carbon–fluorine (C− F) bonds is an important topic in synthetic organic
chemistry. Metal‐mediated and‐catalyzed elimination of β‐or α‐fluorine proceeds under …

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 …

Although transition metal carbenes have found widespread applications and
difluorocarbene has served as a versatile intermediate, it is still quite challenging to make …

Carbide complexes remain a rare class of molecules. Their paucity does not reflect
exceptional instability but is rather due to the generally narrow scope of synthetic …

A new method for the on‐site preparation of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and a procedure for its
efficient use in pentafluoroethylation by fluoride addition were developed by using a simple …

A series of cage penta-arylated carboranes have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed
intermolecular coupling of the C-carboxylic acid of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate …

This Communication describes studies of Ph–RF (RF= CF3 or CF2CF3) coupling at Pd
complexes of general structure (P t Bu3) PdII (Ph)(RF). The CF3 analogue participates in fast …

Abstract Die Aktivierung von Kohlenstoff‐Fluor‐Bindungen (C‐F‐Bindungen) ist ein
bedeutendes Thema in der organischen Synthesechemie. Metallvermittelte und‐katalysierte …

Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative B–H/C–H cross coupling of monocarborane anions
with alkenes is reported, allowing for the first time the isolation of selectively penta …

Gold carbenes of the general type [LAu= CR2]+ are sufficiently long‐lived for spectroscopic
inspection only if the substituents compensate for the largely missing stabilization of the …
