We introduce the regioselective para-fluoro-thiol reaction (PFTR) as a novel strategy for network formation. Here, a novel fluorinated linker is designed and further reacted with several bifunctional thiols to demonstrate the versatility of the method. Critically, the formation of the networks is evidenced by XPS and ToF-SIMS.
