TLDR
With individual stoichiometric steps observed and combined, and with intermediates isolated and fully characterized (including crystal structures), these systems demonstrate the effectiveness of a rational approach to catalytic design.
Abstract
Homogeneous catalytic activation of the strong carbon-fluorine bonds under mild conditions was achieved with the use of rhodium complexes as catalysts. The catalytic reactions between polyfluorobenzenes and hydrosilanes result in substitution of fluorine atoms by hydrogen atoms and are chemo- and regioselective. With individual stoichiometric steps observed and combined, and with intermediates isolated and fully characterized (including crystal structures), these systems demonstrate the effectiveness of a rational approach to catalytic design.

C-F bond activation in organic synthesis.

TL;DR: Organic fluorine compounds have received a great deal of interest and attention from the scientists involved in diverse fields of science and technology and not only C-F bond formation but also selective C-f bond activation have become current subjects of active investigation from the viewpoint of effective synthesis of fluoroorganic compounds.

Specific Intermolecular Interaction of Carbon Dioxide with Polymers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the bending mode (ν2) of CO2 to probe polymer−CO2 interactions and observed the splitting of the band corresponding to the CO2 ν2 mode.

Defluorination of perfluoroolefins by divalent lanthanoid reagents: Activating C-F bonds

TL;DR: In this paper, the first terminal lanthanoid-fluoride bonds were determined by X-ray crystallography, showing that the relative fluorine abstraction reactivity increases with increasingly negative reduction potential for reasonably unhindered fluoroolefin substrates.
