title: Routes to fluorinated organic derivatives by nickel mediated C-F activation of heteroaromatics.
abstract: New fluorinated azaheterocycles can be synthesised regio- and chemo-selectively via C-F activation of fluorinated precursors at nickel, with subsequent functionalisation and release from the coordination sphere of the metal; the requirements for productive C-F activation are significantly different from those for C-H bond activation.
