Abstract
σ-Bonds between transition metals and perfluorinated groups (M−Rf) are among the strongest M−C bonds. Very few stoichiometric and, as far as we know, no catalytic reactions based on insertion of unsaturated molecules into M−Rf bonds have been reported. Alkene insertion into M−C bonds plays a key role in important catalytic processes such as alkene oligomerization, polymerization, and the Heck reaction. Such catalysis involving M−Rf bonds is desirable for the functionalization of perfluorinated compounds, important for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
