Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–hydrogen functionalization and carbon–
nitrogen bond formation are typically conducted at elevated temperatures, and rely on …

Fluorinated carbohydrates have found many applications in the glycosciences. Typically,
these contain fluorination at a single position. There are not many applications involving …

The unstable triplet excited state is a core problem when developing self‐protective room
temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in carbon dots (CDs). Here, fluorine and nitrogen …

The spin-forbidden nature of triplet exciton transitions is a limitation for achieving a carbon
dots-based material with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Here, fluorine-nitrogen …

The application of piezoelectricity for the generation of trifluoromethyl (CF3) radicals is
reported together with the development of a method for the mechanochemical C− H …

We report a redox-neutral method for nucleophilic fluorination of N-hydroxyphthalimide
esters using an Ir photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. The method provides access to …

Defluorinative manipulation of polyfluorinated molecules has shown great promise due to its
granting of synthetic versatility to inert C− F bonds. The development of chemo‐, stereo‐and …

Common anionic nucleophiles such as those derived from inorganic salts have not been
used for enantioselective catalysis because of their insolubility. Here, we report that merging …

Potassium fluoride (KF) is an ideal reagent for fluorination because it is safe, easy to handle
and low-cost. However, poor solubility in organic solvents coupled with limited strategies to …

The potential of many 18F‐labeled (hetero) aromatics for applications in positron emission
tomography remains underexplored because convenient procedures for their radiosynthesis …
