The use of SbF5 intercalated in graphite as fluorinating reagent of organo-silicon and -germanium derivatives is described.While Si-O and Si-Cl bonds are readily cleaved, Si-H and Si-S bonds are only reactive in bifunctional silanes.Ge-X bonds (X=Br, Cl, OR, H) are unreactive.Allyl-silicon and allyl-germanium bonds are broken under mild conditions and in high yields, leading to the corresponding fluorosilane or fluorogermane.With bifunctional silanes, it is always possible to obtain the difluorinated derivatives.
