There’s a shake-up taking place in fluorine chemistry. Synthetic organic chemists who don’t normally mess with fluorine are stepping in with their toolbox of synthetic methods to broaden the range of ...

Fluorine is critical for biomedicine. This element can help drug compounds be more potent and last longer in the body, and ...

ABSTRACTS ARE REQUESTED for the 19th International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry (ISFC) and the 3rd International Symposium on Fluorous Technologies, which will be held jointly on Aug. 23–28 at the ...

Fluorinated molecules play an important role as pharmaceutical compounds. Recent advances seek to overcome the challenges of selective and late-stage insertion of fluorine into small molecules.

Since they were first made in 1991, microscopic tubes of carbon atoms have become the focus of research aimed at developing future nanoscale electronics, machines, and drug-delivery systems. To ...

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission ...

Fluorine is an element of great interest for chemists working in disciplines as diverse as synthesis, catalysis, material sciences, energy, agrochemical sciences, medical sciences and chemical biology ...

Researchers synthesize fluorine-based compound via rapid biphasic (gas and liquid) mixing. How short is one second? The duration of a second can be defined as one 86,400 th of a 24-hour day. A bullet ...

Researchers have discovered a new organic reaction that selectively converts only a specific carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond in perfluorinated compounds to other functional groups. This is expected to lead ...

Fluorine is critical for biomedicine. This element can help drug compounds be more potent and last longer in the body, and ...
