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 …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

Herein, we report a hydrodefluorination reaction of polyfluoroarenes catalyzed by
bismuthinidenes, Phebox-Bi (I) and OMe-Phebox-Bi (I). Mechanistic studies on the …

A new database of transition metal reaction barrier heights (MOBH35) is presented.
Benchmark energies (forward and reverse barriers and reaction energy) are calculated …

While β-diketiminate (BDI or 'nacnac') ligands have been widely adopted to stabilize a wide
range of metal ions in multiple oxidation states and coordination numbers, in several …

Fluorinated organic compounds are common among pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and
materials. The significant strength of the C–F bond results in chemical inertness that …

Fluorobenzenes, in particular fluorobenzene (FB) and 1, 2-difluorobenzene (1, 2-DiFB), are
increasingly becoming recognised as versatile solvents for conducting organometallic …

A controllable mono‐and di‐multifluoroarylation of acyclic and cyclic N‐aryl amines with aryl
fluorides by photocatalyzed dual C (sp3)− H/C (sp2)− F functionalization has been …

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 …

Imido complexes of early transition metals are key intermediates in the synthesis of many
nitrogen-containing organic compounds. The metal—nitrogen double bond of the imido …
