Abstract
Abstract The incorporation of fluorinated substituents in cyclopentadienyl anions leads to distinct changes in the properties of the corresponding metal complexes, e.g., with regards to electrochemical properties or metal–ligand bonding energies. This review summarizes the synthetic challenges of the preparation and coordination of fluorinated cyclopentadienyl anions. 1 Introduction 2 Fluorinated Cyclopentadienyls 3 Cyclopentadienyls with One CF3 Group 4 Cyclopentadienyls with Four CF3 Groups 5 Cyclopentadienyls with Five CF3 Groups 6 Cyclopentadienyls with ‘Fluorous Ponytails’ 7 Cyclopentadienyls with C6F5 Groups 8 Trends in Interaction Energies 9 Conclusion
