| Summary: | Although transition metal carbenes have found widespread applications and difluorocarbene has served as a versatile intermediate, it is still quite challenging to make use of transition-metal difluorocarbenes in synthetic chemistry due to their unpredictable reactivities. In this Highlight, we review recent developments in the transition-metal-catalyzed or -mediated transfer of difluorocarbene and the reactivies and conversions of transition-metal difluorocarbene complexes. We start with the M&z.dbd;CF
2
bonding, then provide the progress in the transfer of difluorocarbene, and finally briefly discuss the conversions of M&z.dbd;CF
2
into other metal complexes. The understanding of the interesting reactivities of M&z.dbd;CF
2
may help design the catalytic transfer of difluorocarbene for various reactions.
We review the recent developments in the chemistry of transition-metal difluorocarbenes, including bonding and utility of M&z.dbd;CF

| Bibliography: | Wei Zhou was born in 1995 in Jiangsu Province (China). She received her B.S. degree from Jiangsu Normal University in 2017. She then joined the group of Prof. Weiguo Cao at Shanghai University to pursue her PhD degree. She is currently a graduate student and her primary research interest is the development of efficient methods for the incorporation of fluorinated groups into organic molecules. Prof. Ji-Chang Xiao received his PhD in 2003 from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Qing-Yun Chen. Then he conducted his postdoctoral research with Prof. Jean'ne M. Shreeve at the University of Idaho. In 2005, he began his independent career as a professor at SIOC. His current research interests include fluorine-containing molecules, functional materials, and molten salts. Prof. Jin-Hong Lin received his Bachelor's degree at Donghua University in 2005 and obtained his PhD degree in 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Ji-Chang Xiao at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He then joined the group of Prof. John T. Welch at State University of New York at Albany as a postdoctoral research fellow. In 2013, he left the Welch's group and joined Prof. Xiao's group at SIOC as an associate professor. In 2021, the joined the group of Prof. Weiguo Cao at Shanghai University as an associate professor. His research interests focus on the development of fluorinated salts as reagents and on the chemistry of transition metal fluorocarbenes. Dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of CAS. Prof. Weiguo Cao obtained his Bachelor's degree in 1984 from Shanghai Normal University and his MS degree in 1987 from Shanghai University of Science and Technology (The University has become a part of Shanghai University). Since then, he has worked in Shanghai University as a faculty member. He received his PhD degree in 2003 from Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, CAS. He was promoted to full professor in 2000 and his research interests include the development of fluorinated reagents and the installation of fluorinated groups.
