The department of chemistry hosted their weekly seminar series, which featured the research of two Georgetown graduate students, Nadia Sarfraz and Jordan Tanen, both seeking their PhD, on Oct. 12.

There’s a shake-up taking place in fluorine chemistry. Synthetic organic chemists who don’t normally mess with fluorine are stepping in with their toolbox of synthetic methods to broaden the range of ...

Fluorine holds a special place in the hearts of many chemists. Because of its unique reactivity and the many laudable qualities it brings to chemical compounds, fluorine is one of the only elements ...

Fluorine-19 NMR brings a new dimension to the analysis group of fluorine-containing compounds. The wider chemical shift range in 19 F NMR makes it possible to resolve each fluorine-containing ...

Chemists have discovered and developed a new class of catalysts that can transfer a fluorine-containing chemical group to other molecules. This reaction should allow researchers to rapidly gene rate ...

Researchers synthesize fluorine-based compound via rapid biphasic (gas and liquid) mixing. How short is one second? The duration of a second can be defined as one 86,400 th of a 24-hour day. A bullet ...

TOKYO, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists in Japan have shown that an oxyfluoride is capable of visible light-driven photocatalysis 1. The finding opens new doors for designing materials for ...
