Description
Organofluorine Chemistry: Synthesis and Applications gives a comprehensive outlook on modern synthetic methodologies for organofluorine compounds, illustrates chemical-, biochemical- and materials applications of fluorine-containing compounds, including synthesis and applications of fluorinated nanoscopic materials for drug delivery and catalysis, synthesis and clinical and diagnostic applications of PET imaging agents, green chemistry, organometallic catalysis, and incorporates emerging topics in fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. This book incorporates topics that are of interest to academic scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, hence it is unique when compared to currently available books on organofluorine chemistry.
Key Features
- Provides modern synthetic methods for, and reactions of, organofluorine compounds
- Incorporates the synthesis and chemical, biochemical and biomedical applications of fluorine-containing compounds, nanomaterials, PET imaging agents, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals
- Incorporates emerging "hot" topics, such as C-H, C-F activation and organometallic catalysis
