Drugs that contain one or more fluorine atoms tend to be more stable, more powerful, and easier for the body to absorb. For those reasons, drug developers would like to be able to incorporate fluorine ...

The department of chemistry hosted their weekly seminar series, which featured the research of two Georgetown graduate students, Nadia Sarfraz and Jordan Tanen, both seeking their PhD, on Oct. 12.

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 ...

Organic fluorine compounds occupy a unique position in chemistry owing to fluorine’s high electronegativity and small size, which confer distinctive noncovalent interaction patterns. Unlike classical ...

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 ...

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 ...

For all of the semiconductor industry’s legendary reputation for cleanliness, the actual processes that go into making chips use some of the nastiest stuff imaginable. Silicon oxide is comes from ...

Herbert Roesky relates how the small, highly electronegative fluorine atom unveiled the chemical reactivity of noble gases and found many practical applications. but it can also render organic ...
