Title: Organic and Main-Group Chemistry of the 2,4,6-Tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl Substituent
Abstract: The organic and main group chemistry of the 2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl substituent (= RF ) is reviewed. This unique ligand combines steric bulk with the possibility of electronic stabilization. In organic RF chemistry steric hindrance is an important factor guiding the reactivity of various substrates. Low coordination numbers around main group elements are effectively stabilized through the formation of short metal-fluorine interactions. Among other RF-derived substituents the thiolate anion RFS- promises to be a useful ligand for transition metals.
