Abstract
In this account we describe studies on the reactivity of rhodium(I) complexes of the
type [Rh(E)(PEt3)3], where E represents hydrido, fluorido, germyl, boryl or silyl ligands, towards fluorinated
olefins. The results are compared with those reported by other research groups on
fluoroolefins, as well as with the chemistry of compounds [Rh(E)(PEt3)3] towards fluoroaromatics in terms of selectivity and mechanisms.
