The renaissance of Brønsted superbases is primarily based on their pronounced capacity for
a large variety of chemical transformations under mild reaction conditions. Four major set …

Electrochemical fluorination (Simons process) provides a cheap industrial access to a series
of tris (perfluoroalkyl) difluorophosphoranes. These substances are a convenient starting …

In this contribution we present an account on pentafluoroethylated compounds of silicon,
germanium and tin. The pronounced electron‐withdrawing effect of the pentafluoroethyl …

We report unambiguous experimental and theoretical evidence of intramolecular
photoelectron diffraction in the collective vibrational excitation that accompanies high …

To further investigate the α-effect in silanes bearing a geminal donor atom, the model
compounds (C2F5) 3SiCH2NMe2,(C2F5) 3SiCH2OMe and (C2F5) 3SiONMe2 were …

This review describes recent advances in the synthesis, chemistry and applications of
phosphine ligands containing one or more perfluoroalkyl, Rf, substituent. The methods …

Abstract For (pentafluoroethyl) phenylstannanes,(C2F5) 4− n SnPhn (n= 1–3), and
dimethylbis (pentafluoroethyl) stannane,(C2F5) 2SnMe2, a high yield synthesis was …

In this contribution we report on the synthesis of bis (pentafluoroethyl) stannane, H2Sn
(C2F5) 2. In the reaction with donor molecules a ready elimination of hydrogen and the …

Phosphinous acids represent a highly interesting substance class, as their transition-metal
complexes play an important role as catalysts in cross-coupling reactions.[1] Only two known …

Abstract (C2F5) 2PNEt2 represents an excellent starting material for the selective synthesis
of bis (pentafluoroethyl) phosphane derivatives. The moderately air‐sensitive …
