Project description

A large variety of complexes with palladium will be synthesized in order to test them in their ability as catalysts in fluorination. This means that will will be tested if they easy the reaction to attach a fluorine atom onto an organic molecule. This will be usefull for the production of some drugs that contain a fluorine atom, whithout having to use harmfull chemicals such as hydrogen fluoride, a very dangerous acid.
