Exploiting the Site Selectivity of Perfluoropyridine for Facile Access to Densified Polyarylene Networks for Carbon-Rich Materials

Fluorinated molecules containing reactive functionalities are of great interest to the materials community as these compounds can be used to prepare fluorinated polymers with desirable physical and electronic properties. Despite their potential, many of these compounds are limited by their synthesis which generally requires transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions or harsh fluorinating conditions. Perfluoroheteroaromatic compounds provide a...
