Abstract

The topic of ligand exchange and reaction mechanisms of fluorinated compounds is reviewed, with emphasis on the main group fluorides. Mechanisms are divided into a series of elementary steps of bond formation and bond dissociation, using the coordination model of reaction mechanisms as an organizing principle. Included in this review is an analysis of the stercochemical behavior of pentacoordinated molecules, as well as a discussion of the role of impurities, anionie, cationie, free radical and fluorine-bridged intermediates, and fluoride-induced reactions.
