title: Unprecedented 1,3-migration of the aryl ligand in metallacyclic aryl α-naphthyl Pt(IV) difluorides to produce β-arylnaphthyl Pt(II) complexes.
abstract: Electrophilic fluorination of aryl α-naphthyl Pt(II) complexes leads to an unprecedented 1,3-migration of the aryl ligand to the β-position of the naphthyl group. The reaction proceeds via the initial oxidative addition of two fluoro ligands to the Pt center followed by C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) coupling and aryl migration.
