Fluorine functionalized compounds of group 13 elements

The review gives a short survey of some developments in the synthetic chemistry of organoaluminum fluorides. Into the focus is brought the Janus-faced Lewis base–Lewis acid Al compound, group 13 difluorodiorganometalates, fluorine functionalized carbaalane derivatives, fluorination of aluminum imide clusters, diamidoaluminum fluoride, and some group 13 β-diketiminate mono- and difluorides.
