Microextraction and Analysis of PFC’s from Biota

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Marv

Due to the environmental prevalence and potential harm of some perfluorocarbons (PFC’s), primarily perfluoro carboxylic acids and perfluoro sulfonic acids, the quantitation of these compounds in environmental and biological samples is an active area of research.  A recent example of … Continue reading →

Solvation-Mediated Biphasic Catalysis

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Marv

Solvophobicity is a term that we’ve used often here on F-Blog to describe many of the behaviors of fluorous molecules in relation to partitioning.  While terms such as “fluorous affinity” are also used, it’s not really technically correct.  While dipole … Continue reading →

Catalysis with Fluorous Bipyridine Ligands

Posted on May 6, 2010 by Marv

A recent paper in Adv. Synthesis and Catalysis from two groups in Italy describe the use of fluorous substituted bipyridyls (bipy) as ligands of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO).  The resulting fluorous catalysts were then used to catalyze the epoxidation of various olefins.  … Continue reading →

FLLE for Analytical Sample Enrichment

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Marv

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) such as perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been identified as bioaccumulative and environmentally persistent.  The identification and detection of these compounds in environmental and other matrices is one of increasing importance.  Detection of … Continue reading →

Fluorous Orthogonality in Photolithography

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Jeff

Long time F-Blog readers will know that we often promote orthogonality as one of the main advantages of fluorous techniques.  We’ve also been big supporters of hydrofluoroethers (HFE’s), since reporting their usefulness in fluorous solvent tuning. So it is particularly … Continue reading →
