Highly Fluorinated Trianglimine Macrocycles: A Supramolecular Organic Framework

A novel highly fluorinated dialdehyde was prepared by a two-stage synthesis. This reactive building block for dynamic imine chemistry was used in a condensation reaction to generate the first extensively fluorinated trianglimine. An analysis of the material properties and, especially, the crystal structure of the [3+3] macrocycle revealed a supramolecular organic framework with tubular porous channels. The use of fluorinated ligands to generate hydrophobic electron-deficient channel-like pores is an important addition to the ever-expanding field of supramolecular networks and to trianglimine chemistry in general.

Unravelling the effect of fluorinated ligands in hybrid EUV photoresists by X-ray spectroscopy

A fluorinated ligand in an extreme ultraviolet hybrid photoresist yields C–F bond dissociation upon exposure, thus enhancing its overall sensitivity.

Cu(i)–O2 oxidation reactions in a fluorinated all-O-donor ligand environment

This perspective highlights the effects of O-donor fluorinated ligands on Cu–O2 chemistry, with intermediates capable of substrate oxidation reactivity.

Structure, color-tunable luminescence, and UV-vis/NIR benzaldehyde detection of lanthanide coordination polymers based on two fluorinated ligands

A series of 1D lanthanide coordination polymers exhibits white-light emission and detects benzaldehyde in the UV-visible and NIR region.

Study on the Acid-Induced Ring-Expansion of an Oxaphosphirane Complex with an Electron-Withdrawing C-Substituent

A study on the acid-induced ring-expansion reaction of the first oxaphosphirane complexes bearing an electron-withdrawing C-substituent is described. The stereoselectively obtained 1,3,4-dioxaphospholane complexes 4a–c, representing the first examples of such fluorinated ligands, were unambiguously characterized by multinuclear NMR, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
