This has been achieved by a selective aromatic nucleophilic substitution of different fluoroarenes by N‐H‐substituted N‐heterocyclic imines (NHIs) at ambient conditions without any additional reagent. Solid‐state molecular structure analysis reveals the elongation of the central C-N bond of the imine functionality, which is consistent with the push–pull nature of these imines. The push-pull nature of these imines is further validated by computational studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/540article2023-11-14
