Thalidomide, a drug once used to alleviate morning sickness in pregnant women, exhibits distinct properties due to its ...

Fluorine is one of the halogens. Halogen means “salt former,” which doesn’t sound so terrible. The members of this group, including chlorine, bromine, and iodine, form a great deal of useful ...

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 ...

Fluorine chemistry, ... But getting those fluorines into a form where they are usable for synthesis has, for the past 250 years, involved reacting CaF 2 with sulfuric acid to make HF gas.

A joint team of researchers from POSTECH has proposed a synthesis method for fluorine-based compound via a rapid mixing reaction between a gaseous component and liquid that takes less than a ...

This new finding doesn’t just break the so-called fluoro wall, a long-held belief that heavy atoms like fluorine aren’t supposed to tunnel, but could also reshape how we understand chemical ...

Fluorine. As I wrote in 2016 (See Fluorine: The Element From Hell), (1) fluorine (F 2) – a pale yellow gas – is the most reactive of all elements. It will react, usually violently, with almost every ...

A magnesium complex can remove fluorine atoms from solid microparticles of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) at room temperature, and then donate the fluorine atoms to other compounds (J. Am. Chem ...

Professor Hyunwoo Kim and students Donghun Kim and Gyeongseon Choi in the Integrated M.S./Ph.D. program of the Department of ...

To recognize outstanding contributions to the advancement of the chemistry of fluorine. Description. The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Up to $2,500 for travel expenses to the meeting at ...
