Toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’ Are Everywhere—And a New Study Has Linked ...

Adding fluorine to drug molecules can be tricky, but is often worthwhile. Rachel Brazil talks to the chemists trying to tame ...

“The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong, so most microbes cannot use it as an energy source. The F11 bacterial strain developed the ability to chop away the fluorine and eat ...

Bonus carbon fact: The carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is the most stable chemical bond known to exist. Credit: ExtremeTech Carbon normally has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus, giving it an ...

CU Boulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS The strength of the bond between carbon and fluorine ...

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ are increasingly showing up in the environment, our food and drinking water, and throughout our ...

These stable carbon–fluorine bonds have also been used with enormous success in the design of pharmacologically active molecules. The lengths of the C–H and C–F bonds are not too dissimilar ...

And with good reason: They're mainly made up of carbon and fluorine atoms, whose chemical bond is virtually indestructible. As Marie-Pierre Krafft, a physical chemist and French National Center ...
