Abstract
The high nucleophilicity of the sulfur atoms in [Pt2(dppp)2(μ-S)2] triggers a C–F activation process in 1,3-difluoro-2-propanol that leads to the [Pt2(dppp)2(μ-S)(μ-SCH2CH(OH)CH2F]F product through a SN2 mechanism, where the O–H⋯F hydrogen bond established from the alcohol group of the organic substrate is essential for assisting the departure of the fluoride anion.
