Functionalization reactions of the refrigerants HFO‐1234yf (2,3,3,3‐tetrafluoropropene) and HFO‐1234ze (1,3,3,3‐tetrafluoropropene) were developed. The selectivity and reactivity towards CF3 groups ...of C−F activation reactions can be controlled by employing either a germane or a silane as the hydrogen source. Unique transformations were designed to accomplish consecutive hydrogermylation and C−F activation steps. This allowed for an unprecedented transformation of an olefinic C−F bond into a C−H bond by heterogeneous catalysis. These reactions are catalyzed by nanoscopic aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF) under very mild conditions.
Functionalizations of tetrafluoropropenes such as HFO‐1234yf were developed. The transformation of the CF3 group into an olefinic CF2 group was achieved at nanoscopic aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF) with silane. Consecutive hydrogermylation and C−F activation steps enabled the transformation of an olefinic C−F into a C−H bond.

Funktionalisierungen von Tetrafluorpropenen wie HFO‐1234yf wurden entwickelt. Die Umwandlung der CF3‐Gruppe in eine olefinische CF2‐Einheit gelang mit nanoskopischem Aluminiumchlorfluorid (ACF) und einem Silan. Aufeinanderfolgende Hydrogermylierung und C‐F‐Aktivierung ermöglichten die Umwandlung der olefinischen C‐F‐Bindung in eine C‐H‐Bindung.
A set of bimetallic complexes based on iridium and rhodium with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, bis(di‐iso‐propylphosphino)methane, diphenyl‐2‐pyridylphosphine and 2‐(di‐iso‐propylphosphino)imidazole ...bridging ligands was prepared. The complexes were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and studied quantum‐chemically using DFT methods. The bimetallic systems succeeded in catalytic hydrodefluorination reactions of lower fluorinated aryl fluorides using molecular hydrogen and sodium tert‐butoxide as a base. Effects of (i) ligand variation, (ii) mono‐ vs bimetallic nuclearity, and (iii) Ir vs Rh metal identity were studied and rationalized en route to achieve an effective hydrodefluorination.
Various bimetallic carbonyl complexes based on iridium and rhodium were characterized and used in the catalytic hydrodefluorination of aryl C−F bonds with dihydrogen as reductant.
