Description
Summary:Chapter 1 gives an introduction on the physical and electronic properties of fluorine and the C-F bond. The application of fluorine in organic chemistry, which is mainly attributed to the electronic properties of fluorine is described. The role of fluorine in neuropsychiatric drug development and for influencing the conformational study of bioactive amines is also illustrated.
