An Amorphous Lewis-acidic Zirconium Chlorofluoride as HF Shuttle: C-F Bond Activation and Formation
(2024)
In recent years, fluorine chemistry has gained increasing political attention. Owing to a growing shortage of fluorspar, a raw material used for producing fluorinated base chemicals, fluorospar has been named among the 30 critical raw materials in the EU.2 As such, it becomes increasingly important to recycle existing fluorinated compounds and make them available as sources of fluorine for reactions. Significant progress has been made in the field of C-F bond activation using heterogeneous catalysts such as aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF).3–5 However, the transfer of fluorine atoms from one molecule to another using heterogeneous catalysts has not yet been reported. In this study, we successfully synthesized amorphous zirconium chlorofluoride (ZCF), and we were able to establish a catalytic behavior of ZCF in C-F bond activation reactions. We present a heterogeneous catalyst that performs dehydrofluorination of a fluoroalkane and consecutive hydrofluorination of an alkyne at room temperature.

An amorphous Lewis-acidic zirconium chlorofluoride as HF shuttle: C–F bond activation and formation
(2023)
An exceptional HF transfer reaction by C–F bond activation of fluoropentane and a subsequent hydrofluorination of alkynes at room temperature is reported. An amorphous Lewis-acidic Zr chlorofluoride serves as heterogeneous catalyst, which is characterised by an eightfold coordination environment at Zr including chlorine atoms. The studies are seminal in establishing sustainable fluorine chemistry.
