“…In the case of chlorosilanes (Table 1) fluorination method seems to be very effective, hence a catalytic version was also attempted. Chlorosilanes can be transformed to appropriate fluorosilanes by several methods and reagents [14,15]: BF 3 ÁOEt 2 , SbF 3 , ZnF 2 , NH 4 F, CuF 2 , Na 2 SiF 6 , NaPF 6 , NaSbF 6 , NaBF 4 , Me 3 SnF, AgF, PF 5 , Ph 3 CBF 4 , SbF 3 , NOBF 4 , NO 2 BF 4 and CuF 2 /CCl 4 , but it is not very easy to obtain selectively fluorosilanes containing Si-H bond(s). Van Dyke et al made partially fluorinated polysilanes by PF 5 or Ph 3 CBF 4 methods.…”
