Coordination chemistry and applications of medium/high oxidation state metal and non-metal fluoride and oxide-fluoride complexes with neutral donor ligands

摘要

Most high and medium oxidation state (O.S. = 3) metal and non-metal fluorides and oxide fluorides have Lewis acidic properties, although detailed exploration of their chemistry with neutral ligands, which differs significantly from that with chloride, bromide or iodide co-ligands, has only been undertaken in recent years. The previous review (Benjamin et. al. Chem. Soc. Rev. 42 (2013) 1460) covered work published up to similar to 2011, and the present article covers new work up to early 2019, a period which has seen many new contributions to the field. This article describes work on the coordination chemistry of d, f and p-block fluorides and oxide fluorides with neutral ligands containing donor atoms drawn from Groups 15 (N, P, As or Sb) and 16 (O, S, Se or Te) and including N-heterocyclic carbenes. The incorporation of the radionuclide F-18 into neutral metal complexes and their use in medical diagnosis via positron emission tomography (PET) is also described, along with briefer coverage of other potential applications.
