Cobalt fluorides: preparation, reactivity and applications in catalytic fluorination and C–F functionalization

Abstract

Recent advances in the investigation of cobalt fluorides in organofluorine chemistry are highlighted. The preparation and reactivity of inorganic and organometallic cobalt fluorides are discussed. The in-depth understanding of the structures and reactivity of cobalt fluorides allows chemists to develop diverse innovative catalytic fluorination and C–F functionalization.
