Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Gas driven</bold>: A high‐yield approach to sequential fluoride ion abstraction from SbF₃ in the presence of 2, 2′‐bipyridine gives a series of complexes containing [SbF₂]⁺, [SbF]²⁺, and [Sb]³⁺ (see figure) acceptors. The thermodynamically favorable rapid elimination of gaseous Me₃SiF provides a potentially general approach to enhance the Lewis acidity and coordination chemistry of p‐block centers.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v4b10d2" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
