Published: October 2016

Avenues to S-based Lewis acids were developed via the oxidation of aryl-sulfoxides with XeF, giving difluorodiarylsulfoxides which react via fluoride abstraction to afford Lewis acidic fluorosulfoxonium cations; this acidity is derived from the S-F σ* orbital and has been probed both experimentally and computationally.
