Activation of carbon-fluorine bonds via cooperation of a photocatalyst and tin Date: June 2, 2021 Source: Osaka University Summary: Researchers have discovered a new organic reaction that ...

Researchers at Osaka University discover a new organic reaction that selectively converts only a specific carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond in perfluorinated compounds to other functional groups. This is ...

The defining feature of fluoropolymers is the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond, one of the strongest single bonds in organic chemistry. This exceptional strength arises primarily from the significant ...

Scientists have developed a new catalyst for breaking carbon-fluorine bonds, one of the strongest chemical bonds known. The discovery is a breakthrough for efforts in environmental remediation and ...

More microbes found that break down the carbon-fluorine bonds found in some unsaturated PFAS Aug 2, 2024 We developed a way to use light to dismantle PFAS 'forever chemicals' ...

After finding a new type of bacteria capable of breaking down carbon-fluorine bonds, the research team took a close look at how it did so and found that it was due to certain enzymes they produce.

We’re a team of researchers who developed a chemical system that uses light to break down bonds between carbon and fluorine atoms. These strong chemical bonds help PFAS resist degradation. We ...

The accumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, is a growing cause of concern. Their strong carbon–fluorine bonds give these compounds excellent chemical and thermal ...

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 ...

New catalyst splits C–F bonds: Two boron atoms (green spheres) are embedded in a framework of carbon atoms (black). The electrons required for C–F cleaving currently still come from lithium ...
