With a slight pale yellow hue, fluorine is at room temperature a poisonous diatomic gas. Resembling a spirit from a chemical netherworld, fluorine is highly reactive, difficult to handle, yet very versatile as a reagent—with the power to form compounds with almost any other element.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprising 20% of pharmaceutical products and 30% of agrochemical compounds, as well as playing a key role in electric cars, electronic devices, and space technology, compounds containing fluorine have grown in importance across the globe. Learning how to safely handle fluorine in the preparation of innovative new materials—with valuable new properties—is of critical importance to chemists today. Bringing together the research and methods of leading scientists in the fluorine field, \u003ci\u003eEfficient Preparations of Fluorine Compounds\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive manual to creating, and understanding the reaction mechanisms integral to a wide variety of fluorine compounds.
