a, Control experiments employing by-products as activators for PTFE. Yields of F− and \({{\rm{PO}}}_{2}{{\rm{F}}}_{2}^{-}\) were determined by quantitative 19F NMR spectroscopy (in 10% D2O in H2O using NaOTf as an internal standard). b, DFT computational studies showing a correlation between observed reactivity and (i) oxyanion nucleophilicity parameter as well as an inverse correlation with (ii) SN2 barrier height; hydrated salts are shown in grey.
