Abstract

Abstract : Well defined rhodium complexes for probing the coordination site preference of partially fluorinated benzenes. Abstract : The isolation and solid-state characterisation of complexes featuring partially coordinated benzene, fluorobenzene and all three isomers of difluorobenzene are described. Supported by a DFT analysis, this well-defined homologous series demonstrates the preference for η 2 -coordination of fluoroarenes via the HCCH sites adjacent to a fluorine substituent.
