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 new paper published in PLOS ...

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 ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned the nickname of forever chemicals from their extraordinary ability to stick around in the environment long after they’ve been used.

HOUSTON – (Nov.13, 2023) – When it comes to chemical reactions, fluorine has a reputation as a ‘magic bullet atom’ for its ability to increase a drug’s absorption and prolong its lifetime. However, ...

Chemists have discovered and developed a new class of catalysts that can transfer a fluorine-containing chemical group to other molecules. This reaction should allow researchers to rapidly gene rate ...

In the early years of fluorine chemistry, researchers often carried out fluorination reactions by using highly reactive elemental fluorine gas, toxic sulfur tetrafluoride gas, and corrosive anhydrous ...

Amines are a fundamentally important class of biologically active compounds and the ability to manipulate their physicochemical properties through the introduction of fluorine is of paramount ...
