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 holds a special place in the hearts of many chemists. Because of its unique reactivity and the many laudable qualities it brings to chemical compounds, fluorine is one of the only elements ...

Fluorine has a dangerous reputation. It’s been nicknamed “the tiger of chemistry” because it has killed so many chemists. We’re going to show you one of its most volatile explosions, and explain how ...

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.

Access to simpler and more direct methodologies for the incorporation of fluorinated substituents remains an unmet need in pharmaceutical synthesis. An analysis of recent trends in fluorination ...

A groundbreaking discovery by chemists at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will have a significant impact on how pharmaceutical companies develop new drug treatments. The breakthrough ...

Researchers from NITech have proposed a new approach to traditional defluorination of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that does not require extreme ...

The Clarke number of fluorine is about 0.03%, which is about half of that of sulfur, one-sixth of that of chlorine and almost equal to that of nitrogen and rubidium. This suggests that fluorine should ...

With its vision to keep a step ahead of the market, Morita Chemical Industries is bringing the new standard of fluorine compound production to the world’s second-largest economy. The company’s ...
