Based on its electron configuration (1s² 2s² 2p⁵), fluorine has seven valence electrons. This count is derived from adding ...

Chemists have synthesized perfluorocubane for the first time. The molecule, C 8 F 8, consists of a cube of carbon atoms with fluorine atoms attached to each of its eight vertices. The synthetic feat ...

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 ...

Researchers synthesized a fluorinated electron-acceptor for use in organic semiconductors. The high electronegativity of the fluorine substituents enhanced the electron-accepting properties of the ...
