Fluorine is an essential element to human health and to the chemical industry. In spite of our dependence on fluorine and fluorine compounds, we have yet to learn to use them wisely. Our fluorine history, which spans about a hundred years, has had negative effects such as hydrofluoric acid pollution caused by aluminum smelters and ozone depletion due to chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) emissions. More recent concerns center on greenhouse effects from CFCs, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and sulfur…

Human activity has quadrupled the mobilization of phosphorus (P), a nonrenewable resource that is not fully recycled biologically or industrially. P is accumulated in both water and solid waste due…
Introduction of fluorine and fluorine-containing functional groups.
TLDR
This Review gives a brief summary of conventional fluorination reactions, including those reactions that introduce fluorinated functional groups, and focuses on modern developments in the field.
Electrochemical Fluorination and Radiofluorination of Methyl(phenylthio)acetate Using Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride (TBAF)
TLDR
It was found that the triflic acid to TBAF concentration ratio plays a key role in the fluorination efficiency and resulted in formation of mono-fluorinated methyl 2-fluoro-2-(phenylthio)acetate.
Repurposing of F-gases: challenges and opportunities in fluorine chemistry
Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are routinely employed as refrigerants, blowing agents, and electrical insulators. These volatile compounds are potent greenhouse gases and consequently their release to…
Anthropogenic cycles of the elements: a critical review.
TLDR
The about 350 publications collected for this review contain a total of 1074 individual cycle determinations, 989 static and 85 dynamic, for 59 elements; more than 90% of the publications have appeared since 2000.
Electrochemical Flash Fluorination and Radiofluorination.
TLDR
A new method for rapid late-stage fluorination using the cation pool technique is presented and either stable-isotope [19F]fluoride or no-carrier-added radioactive [18F] fluoride was added to the reaction mixture to form the fluorinated or radiofluorinated product.
