Disclosed is a method of fluorinating a substrate having the general formula where each R is independently selected from halogen, alkyl from C1 to C12, aryl from C6 to C12, alkoxide from C1 to C12, aryloxide from C6 to C12, nitro, amino, alkylamino from C1 to C12, and arylamino from C6 to C12, each X is independently selected from halogen and at least one X is chlorine or bromine, each m is independently selected from 0 to 5, n is 0 or 1, p is 0 or 1, q is 0 or 1, and n+p+q is 1. The substrate is heated to a temperature of about 40 to about 100 DEG C. and is reacted with a fluorinating agent in the presence of about 0.05 to about 2 wt % molybdenum trioxide. The composition of the substrate, the catalyst, and the fluorinating agent is also disclosed.
