The selective electrochemical fluorination of alkenes, phenanthroline, naphthalene and chlorobenzene in neat amine-HF mixtures is described, together with the chemistry of 4,4-difluorocyclohexadienone.

Shows Unattended DNA Cleavage Activity upon Fluorination
SF5, SCF3) surprisingly showed excellent DNAcleavageactivity—in contrast to the unsubstituted [Cu(phen)2]2+—in the absence of the otherwise required classical, bioabundant external reducing agents like thiols or ascorbate. This nucleolyticactivity correlates well with the half‐wave potentials E1/2 of the complexes. Cancer cell studies show cytotoxic effects of all complexes with fluorinated ligands

Synthesis of fluorine-containing 1,10-phenanthrolines using mild versions of Skraup and Doebner-von Miller reactions
A versatile route for the synthesis of new 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives with fluorine-containing groups is described. Skraup reactions were performed with yields of 19 up to 48% and overall yields of 5 up to 13% based on different fluorinated anilines as starting materials. Ten formerly unknown derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 19F), ESI mass spectrometry
