Popis: The TeF5 group is significantly underexplored as a highly fluorinated substituent on an organic framework, despite it being a larger congener of the acclaimed SF5 group. In fact, only one aryl-TeF5 compound (phenyl-TeF5 ) has been reported to date, synthesized using XeF2 . Our recently developed mild TCICA/KF approach to oxidative fluorination provides an affordable and scalable alternative to XeF2 . Using this method, we report a scope of extensively characterized aryl-TeF5 compounds, along with the first SC-XRD data on this compound class. The methodology was also extended to the synthesis and structural study of heretofore unknown aryl-TeF4 CF3 compounds. Additionally, preliminary reactivity studies unveiled some inconsistencies with previous literature regarding phenyl-TeF5 . Although our studies conclude that the arene-based TeF5 (and TeF4 CF3 ) group is not quite as robust as the SF5 group, we find that the TeF5 group is more stable than previously thought, thus opening a door to explore new applications of this motif.
