The Braun group developed platinum complexes bearing high-valent sulfur oxofluoride ligands through controlled oxygenation and fluorination steps. Starting from a Pt–SOF precursor, sequential transformations enabled access to SO₂F and SOF₂ derivatives. A further fluorination yielded an unprecedented transition metal SOF₃ complex. These species offer potential as transfer reagents for sulfur fluoride units. Fluorinated sulfur compounds are of growing interest for their roles in advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
