“…In contrast to fluorinated aryl and alkyl phosphines [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], fluoroalkenylphosphines have received relatively little attention [11][12][13]. Following the development of a convenient synthetic route to [CF 2 CF] À Li + from the readily available HFC-134a (CF 3 CH 2 F), and subsequent syntheses of trifluorovinylphosphines R 3Àx P(CF CF 2 ) x [14][15][16], a number of complexes of trifluorovinylphosphines with molybdenum [15], platinum [15,17] and gold [15] have been reported over the past decade.…”
