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 ...

Their strong carbon–fluorine bonds give these compounds excellent chemical and thermal stability, and they are widely used in applications as diverse as packaging, textile treatments ...

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