Abstract
Treatment of Ca or Sr metal with Hg(C6F5)2 and 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (HOmes) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme) at room temperature resulted in C–F bond activation, giving rise to the unique fluoro(aryloxo)alkaline earth cages [Ca5(µ4-F)(µ3-F)4(µ-Omes)4(Omes)(dme)4] 1 and [Sr10(µ4-F)4(µ3-F)4(µ-Omes)12(dme)4] 2, which can be viewed as arrested fluorite structures.
