Catalytic hydrodefluorination (HDF) of unactivated fluoroalkanes or CF -substituted aryl species is performed using the P Lewis acids, [(bipy)PPh] (1 ) and [(terpy)PPh] (2 ) under mild conditions (25 or 50 °C). Mechanistic studies indicate that activation of C-F bond by the P center is key. Particularly noteworthy is that the catalyst 2[B(C F ) ] is air-stable and readily accessible from bench-stable, commercially available reagents in one-step and can be used without isolation.

We report hitherto elusive side-on η-bonded palladium(0) carbonyl (anthraquinone, benzaldehyde) and arene (benzene, hexafluorobenzene) palladium(0) complexes and present the catalytic hydrodefluorination of hexafluorobenzene by cyclohexene. The comparison with respective cyclohexene, pyridine and tetrahydrofuran complexes reveals that the experimental ligand binding strengths follow the order THF

Heavier group 14 carbene analogues, exhibiting transition-metal-like behavior, display remarkable capability for small molecule activation and coordination chemistry. However, their application in redox catalysis remains elusive. In this paper, we report the synthesis and isolation of a stannylene with carbodiphosphorane ligand.

This study explores the synergistic effect between the Rh and Pd of bimetallic Rh-Pd/C catalysts for the catalytic hydro-defluorination (HDF) of 4-fluorophenol (4-FP). It was found that 4-FP could not be efficiently hydro-defluorinated over 6% Pd/C and 6% Rh/C due to the inherent properties of Pd and Rh species in the dissociation of H and the activation of C-F bonds. Compared with 6% Pd/C and 6% Rh/C, bimetallic Rh-Pd/C catalysts, especially 1% Rh-5% Pd/C, exhibited much higher catalytic activity in the HDF of 4-FP, suggesting that the synergistic effect between the Rh and Pd of the catalyst was much more positive.

Among the several unsymmetrical bis-NHC derived distinct homo-bimetallic and mono-NHC supported Pd complexes studied here (1-5), the bimetallic complex 1 was noted to be the most effective catalyst for the challenging hydrodefluorination. The electron richness of the metal centers and the synergistic cooperation between the Pd centers (cooperativity index, = 8.67) have been recognized to be the deciding factor for its better activity.

Continuous growth in fluoroarene production has led to environmental pollution and health concerns owing to their persistence, which is attributed to the stable C-F bond in their structures. Herein, we investigated fluoroarene decomposition via hydrodefluorination using a rhodium-based catalyst, focusing on the effects of the chemical structure and functional group on the defluorination yield. Most compounds, except (pentafluoroethyl)benzene, exhibited full or partial reduction with pseudo-first-order rate constants in the range of 0.
