Light induced catalytic hydrodefluorination of perfluoroarenes by porphyrin rhodium†
Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrodefluorination of perfluoroarenes by rhodium porphyrin complexes with high tolerance to various functional groups has been developed. Mechanistic studies reveal that the rhodium aryl complex, (por)Rh-C6F4R, is the key intermediate.
