General description

1,2-Difluorobenzene undergoes defluorination under very mild conditions by H2 in the presence of NaOAc over rhodium pyridylphosphine and bipyridyl complexes tethered on a silica-supported palladium catalyst.

Application

1,2-Difluorobenzene(1,2-DFB) has been used to study the mechanism of dissociation of o-, m- and p-difluorobenzene ions by threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. It has been used to study the room temperature adsorption of 1,2-DFB, 1,2-dichlorobenzene and 1,2-dibromobenzene on Si(100)2x1 by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption. It was used as solvent in electrochemical studies on transition metal complexes.
Solvent useful for electrochemical studies on transition metal complexes.

Threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) experiments have shown that o-, m-, and p-difluorobenzene ions dissociate via a common, ring-opened intermediate and not via ionized p-difluorobenzene.
