HighlightsSince their discovery four decades ago, transition metal bifluoride complexes have long been considered as unwanted byproducts, a necessary evil, on the route to access fluoride complexes. Until recently, reports on this chemistry almost always presented these complexes as a fluke discovery. However, with the recent increase in reports and applications involving such species, a renewed interest in these complexes has been observed. Most of the work done in this area, so far, has been directed toward the synthesis and quite challenging characterization of these complexes, yet mostly neglecting the behavior of such species and their influence on catalytic processes. The aim of this work is to present a summary of the various preparation methods, characterization techniques and applications of reported transition metal bifluoride complexes. It is our hope that by centralizing all information available on such species, future efforts aimed at exploiting the full potential of transition metal bifluoride species can be facilitated.

“…[1] The first systematic investigations of fluorocarbon ± metal coordination were performed in the early 1980s by Glusker, Murray-Rust et al, who found unusually short CF ± metal ion contacts in some X-ray crystal structures. [2] In the following years further complexes displaying these features, mainly with the hard metal ions of Groups 1 and 2, were structurally characterized, [3,4] but as late as the early 1990s evidence for such interactions in solution remained scarce. [5] This changed when Plenio et al synthesized partially fluorinated crown ethers and cryptands, which allowed the first systematic studies of CF ± metal ion coordination.…”

“…To close this gap, we determined the stability constants and enthalphic/entropic effects in complexes of two fluoro cryptands FN 2 4 to obtain information on the bonding energetics in the gas phase.…”
“…So, the selective cleavage of one or several C-F bonds in those molecules followed by a suitable functionalization is a way to obtain partially fluorinated compounds of high interest. Reviews with an extensive coverage of the subjects of C-F activation, 6,7,[224][225][226] and fluorination 10,227,228 are available in the literature. The purpose of this section is to cover palladium mediated processes in the area.…”
