The breakthrough positions the specialty chemicals manufacturer at the forefront of advanced fluorination technologies, ...

Medicines containing a type of PFAS or "forever chemical" called fluorine are not leading to higher numbers of adverse drug reactions, according to new data analysis. In a paper published in PLOS ONE, ...

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 ...

Kenji Uneyama published 67 papers early in his career that barely mentioned fluorine. Nearly all of the 107 papers he has published since 1988 have been about synthetic organofluorine chemistry, the ...

Talk about tough competition. According to a document prepared by the Swedish-French Association for Research, on Sept. 21, 1906, as the Nobel committee debated whom to recommend to the Royal Swedish ...

Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labeled 'forever chemicals') while recovering their fluorine content for future use. The results ...

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 ...

Fluorine incorporation has emerged as a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis owing to the unique electronic and structural attributes conferred by the C–F bond. Its high electronegativity and bond ...

Scientists have demonstrated the cleavage (breakage) of a carbon-fluorine bond through oxidation in proteins. The finding suggests that human bodies may be capable of breaking these bonds in the drugs ...
