In this minireview, we report recent advances in the preparation of gem-difluorometal (RCF2-M) complexes and their reactivity toward electrophiles, en route to the synthesis of organofluoro compounds, particularly gem-difluoropropargyl derivatives

Short Side Chain (SSC) ion-conducting polymers have revealed a better electrochemical behaviour compared to the long-side-chain (LSC) Nafion-like polymers in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) application (1).

Despite the considerable breadth of applications for compounds containing the SF5 functional group (1, 2) there remains just sporadic accounts of research being done in this area.

This article focuses on new methods and challenging technologies in organofluorine chemistry giving an overview of historic highlights in the field of fluorine chemistry as well as looking at the design and synthesis of innovative fluoro compounds for life science R&D.

The impressive results on the use of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) as oxygen carriers for biological and medicinal use were obtained by L. Clark and F. Gollan (1966), H. Sloviter and T. Kamimoto (1967), and R. Geyer et al.

Fluoro-organophilic montmorillonites (FOMMTs) were used to prepare fluoroelastomeric/clay nanocomposites through a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) silane precursor sol-gel polymerization
