AsF3 is less effective.
BiF3 doesn’t do it.
I'll ask my bowling team in the bar Friday night and get back with you.....
“It would help me a lot if someone can help me out.”
Sorry to be short, but shouldn’t you be (1) asking your professor? (2) going to the science library, and/or (3) exhausting on-line research?
What was the reason you chose FR for your chemistry question? How do we know this isn’t a homework assignment and you want someone to give you the answer?
Just asking.
1] My wild guess is because it works.
2] There is a place at the end of your article to leave a comment/ask a question. I’d try there.
No good. The TCJA changed the anitmony rules.
Perhaps the reason could be explained by the Structured Atom Model? Etherealmatters.org and YouTube Channel “See the Pattern”.
Gotta stick with what works............................
May the Swarts be with you.
That is a pretty wide open question. Care to be more specific?
“What is Swarts Reaction?
Swarts’ reaction is generally used to get alkyl fluorides from alkyl chlorides or alkyl bromides. This is done by heating of the alkyl chloride/bromide in the presence of the fluoride of some heavy metals (silver fluoride or mercurous fluoride for example). The reaction will proceed if sodium fluoride or potassium fluoride is used, but the resulting yield will be significantly lower. This process was first reported by Frederic Jean Edmond Swarts in 1892.”

‘Frédéric Swarts (2 September 1866 – 6 September 1940) was a Belgian chemist who prepared the first chlorofluorocarbon, CF2Cl2 (Freon-12) as well as several other related compounds. He was a professor in the civil engineering at the University of Ghent. In addition to his work on organofluorine chemistry, he authored the textbook “Cours de Chimie Organique.”[1] He was a son of Theodore Swarts (chemist, *1839 Antwerpen; †1911 Kortenberg, Belgium) and a colleague of Leo Baekeland.’
We react Trichloroethylene (C2HCl3) with hydrogen fluoride (HF) to make 1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane.
So there are plenty of other methods to Fluorinate.
You are probably limited to ‘swarts reagent’ for Swarts reactions because that is the extent of what is named after Mr. Swarts.
I was just thinking about that this morning while having my coffee.
That is a very specialized question. WTH is a swarts reaction?
;^)

Antinomy trifluoride always gives me the swarts.
