Binary sulfur fluorides exhibit an interesting reactivity towards transition metal complexes. They open up routes for the generation of sulfur‐containing building blocks and ligands with particular properties can be constructed. This includes their ability to transfer sulfur atoms or polysulfide units as well as fluorination reactions. This Minireview by T. Braun et al. on page 6945 ff., provides an insight into the reactivity of the binary and ternary sulfur halides S 2 Cl 2 , SCl 2 , SF 4 , SF 6 , and SF 5 Cl towards transition metal compounds. In many recent studies the activation, depletion or derivatization of SF 6 has been in focus, in part because the generation of sulfur fluoride‐containing building blocks from SF 6 might open up opportunities for the formation of sulfur‐containing molecules and materials.
