We are delighted to share with you our latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Fluorine chemistry in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, handpicked by Professor Norio Shibata.
The collection features articles published in the journal from 2018-2020 on fluorine chemistry related to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Organofluorine compounds are revealed in the extensive use of key materials in diverse industrial areas of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, speciality materials, and polymers. In particular, the high demand for organofluorine compounds on the drug market has been evidenced by the sharp increase in the number of fluoro-pharmaceuticals approved each year. Fluorine-related papers published in the journal span over various research fields, including synthetic methodology, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and materials science. We hope you enjoy reading these articles, reflecting the state of the art of fluorine chemistry.
As the world’s largest gold open access chemistry journal, all publications in RSC Advances are free to access.
We invite you to submit your research to this collection and give your work the global visibility it deserves.
