Cluster Preface: Progress in Organo-Fluorine Chemistry

Abstract

The chance of achieving a successful ‘hit’ in the search for new and improved functional organic molecules can be increased by appropriate fluorination. To this end, many new and exciting methods for the site-selective, controlled fluorination of organic molecules are being developed. This Cluster contains a series of articles that represent the most recent achievements in this field.

Key words

fluorination - organo-fluorine - selectivity - improved physical properties - isotopic labelling - materials science
