Teflon adhesive breakthroughs: University of Tokyo researchers developed CyclicFP-fmoc, the first small-molecule glue that ...

Chemicals that contain fluorine have perpetually been in the news for two primary reasons. One is the controversy surrounding the fluoridation of drinking water. The other is the latest chemical scare ...

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 ...

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 can be highly advantageous in pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds. One or just a few atoms in an organic molecule can dramatically alter its chemical and biological nature, including ...

Metrohm USA has launched the new Profiler F series of Total Fluorine Analyzers. The Profiler F Wastewater system is a single analyzer system capable of measuring the total organic fluorine profile in ...

I call fluorine the Tyrannosaurus rex of the elements because it reacts with everything. That's why chemists thought the element was only found in nature as ions bound in minerals like fluorite (CaF 2 ...

Fluorine is the most chemically reactive element on the periodic table. Only one isotope of fluorine occurs naturally. Researchers discovered a new isotope with four neutrons removed from the proton ...
