Caryl-F bond activation has become an important and quickly developing method for construction of carbon-based materials. We report that alumina-mediated C-F bond activation (AmCFA) enables construction of PAHs with zigzag periphery. This method includes formal Csp3-H activation and opens an avenue for generation of carbon-based nanomagnets directly on technologically relevant surfaces.
