Based on its electron configuration (1s² 2s² 2p⁵), fluorine has seven valence electrons. This count is derived from adding ...

Chemists have synthesized perfluorocubane for the first time. The molecule, C 8 F 8, consists of a cube of carbon atoms with fluorine atoms attached to each of its eight vertices. The synthetic feat ...

Researchers synthesized a fluorinated electron-acceptor for use in organic semiconductors. The high electronegativity of the fluorine substituents enhanced the electron-accepting properties of the ...
