The trans-Tetrafluorosulfuranyl Bridge<br />

• The octahedral geometry of hypervalent sulfur fluorides<br />

allows the design of a novel linear bridge element which<br />

is possibly suitable for liquid crystals and other materials<br />

• The synthesis of a mixture of the bis(aryl)tetrafluorosulfuranyl<br />

isomers is conveniently accomplished by direct<br />

fluorination of the corresponding deactivated thioether<br />

• “Fluorophilic” catalysis allows the isomerization of the bent<br />

cis-isomer to the desired linear trans-isomer via the<br />
