Inside Cover: A Cooperative Rhodium/Secondary Phosphine Oxide [Rh/P(O)<i>n</i>Bu₂] Template for Catalytic Hydrodefluorination of Perfluoroarenes (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 23/2023)

Abstract

Two cooperative robotic arms [Rh/P(O)nBu2] are in the process of activating and breaking C−F bonds to create C−H bonds. In their Research Article (e202219127), Christophe Werlé and co-workers developed a molecular template based on these design elements to improve the catalytic hydrodefluorination of perfluoroarenes across a wide range of substrates.
