Researchers in the lab of Asst. Prof. Chibueze Amanchukwu at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular ...

Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and enables targeted modification of the material’s properties. As a result, ...

A collaborative study between UChicago PME and Northwestern University, published in Nature Chemistry, details a novel ...

Fluorine chemists are fond of pointing out that even though "their" element has one of the smallest atomic radii on the periodic table, it still has the greatest ability to attract electrons. These ...

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 ...

Recent advances in catalysis have made the incorporation of fluorine into complex organic molecules easier than ever before, but selective, general and practical fluorination reactions remain sought ...

Fluorine-19 NMR brings a new dimension to the analysis group of fluorine-containing compounds. The wider chemical shift range in 19 F NMR makes it possible to resolve each fluorine-containing ...

One of the strongest chemical bonds in organic chemistry is formed between carbon and fluorine, giving unique properties to chemical compounds featuring this group. Pharmaceutical researchers are very ...
