The greenhouse gas SF5CF3 acts as CF3 source for the photocatalytic trifluoromethylation of arenes on using [Ir(dtbbpy)(ppy)2]PF6 (4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dipyridyl, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) as catalyst. The trifluoromethylation of C6D6 in the presence of 1-octanol results in the concomitant generation of 1-fluorooctane, presumably by intermediate SF4.
