Dr. Evelin Gruden and Assoc. Prof. Gašper Tavčar from the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Technology have published a review article in the prestigious journal [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010854526000408?via%3Dihub#bi0005 | Coordination Chemistry Reviews]] . In the article, Gruden and Tavčar provide an overview of the chemistry of NHC-stabilized fluoride compounds that have been developed over the past 30 years, from the discovery of NHC carbenes to the present day. Traditionally, the chemistry of metal and non-metal fluorides has developed separately and much more slowly than other halides due to the poor solubility of fluorides and the demanding conditions for handling them. With the development of new synthesis techniques, characterization methods, and the discovery of the activity of these compounds, fluoride chemistry is becoming an increasingly important field of research. The article covers an overview of various synthesis methods for the preparation of compounds with NHC-M-F fragments, their structural features and reactivity, providing a unified reference framework for designing new NHC-stabilized fluoride compounds.
