Graphical Abstract

Zuschauer oder Hauptdarsteller? Das Alkalimetall-Gegenion (K+) spielt eine bemerkenswerte Schlüsselrolle in der kürzlich entdeckten Cuprierung von Fluoroform mit Dialkoxycuprat. Insgesamt acht synergistisch wechselwirkende Lewis-Säure- und Lewis-Base-Zentren ordnen sich zu einem stabilen Übergangszustand, wodurch der niederenergetische Reaktionsweg dieser Umwandlung bedingt wird.
