We report the crystal structures of some of the earliest examples of noble-gas chemistry: compounds formed when the Lewis acid PtF₅ reacts with the Lewis base XeF₂.

A compound of #fluorine by itself is possible using #muons & virtual #protons when using a stable #neutron stuck to the virtual proton
The way I thought of making it was w ion thrusters that happened to create a laminar flow of fluorine I could crash into becoming this solid lattice

It is time to present the character that represents me the mort. This is Fluorine. Fluorine atoms are biologists. They can provoke fire, sublimation, and can help with brain problems.

Rendering of a trajectory calculated, using first-principles density functional theory, for the reaction of fluorine with a hydrogen-passivated silicon surface, summarising in a single image the motion of atoms over a little more than a picosecond. The surface here is represented schematically as a simple grey plane at the bottom of frame. Two bright green traces approach it in parallel from the top of frame, representing a pair of fluorine atoms bound together as a diatomic fluorine molecule. Their paths initially wiggle in sync with each other, indicating that the molecule is vibrating. When they reach the surface, these traces diverge and become entangled with a white trace that represents just one of the many hydrogen atoms that cover the surface. Ultimately, one of the fluorine atoms replaces this particular hydrogen atom on the surface, while the other fluorine atom departs from the surface entirely, taking the hydrogen atom with it. The molecule of hydrogen fluoride thus created is revealed by a single green fluorine trace heading from the surface toward the upper-right of frame, while the white hydrogen trace spirals in the same overall direction. The molecule's rotation and vibration gives rise to an attractive five-pointed star pattern as the white trace dances around the green.

Sodium Dispersion Recovers Fluorine from PTFE at Room Temperature
A sodium‑dispersion method breaks down PTFE at 25 °C, achieving up to 98% fluoride ion yield after 12 hours. It also works on PFAS, reaching up to 97% fluorine recovery. getnews.me/sodium-dispersion-recove... #fluorine #ptfe #pfas
Why is #fluorine the ultimate game-changer in organic chemistry?💡In their latest review, Zhan-Yong Wang & co-workers cover a decade of #monofluorination breakthroughs – from radical routes to #Selectfluor magic – showing how chemists craft C–F bonds with precision.

Very much enjoyed the @rsc.org Fluorine Group Meeting yesterday and today. Many thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to present our new work in #fluorine chemistry, and great to hear about lots of fantastic work going on elsewhere.
Alex gave a fantastic talk this morning at @rsc.org Fluorine Interest Group postgraduate meeting in London on his latest PhD work on BT-Reagents! Check out his work in the links below. @chemistryncl.bsky.social @sciencesncl.bsky.social #fluorine
Great to be in London for the @rsc.org Fluorine Interest Group Postgraduate Meeting. Here’s to two days of fabulous #fluorine chemistry!
#PFAS welcoming regulation - not just frying pan, PFAS are found in sludge sprayed on farmland as moisture wickers in sports cloths but #periodproducts? Mammavation identified risk of dermal exposure to PFAS from some 22 menstrual products #fluorine www.ehn.org/pfas-sanitar... tinyurl.com/2sujsm46
Fluorine reclaimed from PFAS in mechanochemical process. Breakdown process converts discarded forever chemicals into valuable fluorine source. #PFAS #Fluorine #recovery cen.acs.org/environment/...
Researchers at Oxford Chemistry have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (poly- and perfluoroalkylated substances) sometimes dubbed as “forever chemicals” while recovering their #fluorine content for future use.
