Abstract

Addition of the carbon-fluorine bond of a series of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated arenes across the Mg-Mg bond of a simple coordination complex proceeds rapidly in solution. The reaction results in the formation of a new carbon-magnesium bond and a new fluorine-magnesium bond and is analogous to Grignard formation in homogeneous solution.
