Recently it was stated that fluorine chemistry is experiencing a renaissance due to the multifaceted reactivity of fluorinating reagents and the outstanding, and sometimes unexpected, properties of compounds containing fluorine. The benefits of these compounds for our society are evident in many fields. Particularly the last two decades have witnessed a spectacular growth of interest in selectively fluorinated molecular compounds. Both low molecular weight molecules and polymers, as well as highly sophisticated materials, are crucial in manifold aspects of medicinal monitoring and health care. This book is designed to kcknowledge the extraordinary impact of fluorinated compounds to the general topic of Fluorine and Health. The involved subjects are organized in three thematic parts devoted to Molecular Imaging, Biomedical Materials, and Pharmaceuticals.Read less <
