"Riedel: more than just fundamental chemical interest. #Fluorinated #compounds are #commonplace in #drugs, #batteries & other #areas of #modern #life yet pose a #pollution #risk due to their highly stable C–F bonds. Greater understanding of fluorine’s bonding is essential. ".
Quantum tunnelling may be common at the tiniest scales, but no one had ever observed the phenomenon in fluorine – the element was simply thought to be too heavy. Now, this accepted wisdom has been upended in new experiments that observe fluorine tunnelling.
