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.

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 ...

For all of the semiconductor industry’s legendary reputation for cleanliness, the actual processes that go into making chips use some of the nastiest stuff imaginable. Silicon oxide is comes from ...

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 ...

The investments are part of an effort by several chemical companies to replace nitrogen trifluoride in the electronics industry with a more environmentally friendly gas. Other initiatives include ...
