We present the development of ligands featuring the unconventional hydrogen bond donor, -CF<sub>2</sub>H, within a metal's secondary coordination sphere. When metalated with palladium, <i>o-</i>CF<sub>2</sub>H-functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline provides highly directed H-bonding interactions with Pd-coordinated substrates. Spectroscopic and computational analyses with a series of <i>X</i>-type ligand acceptors (-F, -Cl, -Br, -OR) establish the H-bonding interaction strength for the -CF<sub>2</su ...[more]
