The paper I read was "Lewis Acidity of Organofluorophosphonium Salts: Hydrodefluorination by a Saturated Acceptor that was published in Science. The second one is the "perspective" by F.Gabbai in the same issue.

I pretty much knew nothing about hydrodefluorination until I read these papers. Now I know some. Really difficult research but it's not very popular yet. So, there is a lot of opportunities in this area of research.
