Abstract:The fundamental challenge of CÀ F bond formation by reductive elimination has been met by compounds of select transition metals and fewer main group elements. The work detailed herein expands the list of main group elements known to be capable of reductively eliminating a CÀ F bond to include tellurium. Surprising and novel modes of both sp 2 and sp 3 CÀ F bond formation were observed alongside formation of Te IV cations during two separate attempts to synthesize/ characterize fluorinated organotellurium(VI) c… Show more
