Modifications of the chemical reactivity generated by the presence of fluorine atoms in a molecule are connected to three main factors the strength of the C— F bond, the electron-withdrawing character of the fluorinated substituents, and the possible loss of a fluoride ion or of HF in the processes of )S-elimination. On these bases and taking into account the ability of fluoro-substituents to sterically or electronically mimic other... 

Operation (partly) in vacuum. Reactive gases (oxygen, hydrogen, fluorine), which are transferred into an energy-rich state (plasma)by microwave stimulation with the possibility of chemical surface modification, are fed into the plasma chamber with the adherends to be pretreated. 

Table 1 shows the kinetic data available for the (TMSjsSiH, which was chosen because the majority of radical reactions using silanes in organic synthesis deal with this particular silane (see Sections III and IV). Furthermore, the monohydride terminal surface of H-Si(lll) resembles (TMSjsSiH and shows similar reactivity for the organic modification of silicon surfaces (see Section V). Rate constants for the reaction of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals with (TMSIsSiH are very similar in the range of temperatures that are useful for chemical transformations in the liquid phase. This is due to compensation of entropic and enthalpic effects through this series of alkyl radicals. Phenyl and fluorinated alkyl radicals show rate constants two to three orders of magnitude... 

Among the fluorine-containing polymers of commercial importance, our polymer of choice was PCTFE, the homopolymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene. The reason for choosing this polymer was the assumption that the chloride group would have sufficient reactivity to allow chemical modifications (Equation 1), but, in the most likely case that such modifications were incomplete, would be inert toward the ultimate reagents and substrates when the functionalized polymers were applied in their subsequent uses in carrying out organic reactions. 

Vinyl radicals are one of the most reactive species among hydrocarbon radicals, and this example demonstrates a high chemical activity of PC in the processes of this type. This method was used to obtain substituted hydrocarbon radicals with different structures =Si-0-CH, sSi-CH2- CH(CH3), sSi-CH2- C(CH3)2, =Si-0-c- C6H6 [116], fluorine-substituted radicals, =Si-0-CH2- CF2, =Si-CF2- CF2, and =Si-0-CF2- CF(CF3) [117], and other organic radicals [9]. The 02, CO, C02, N20 (see Table 7.3), and S02 [118] molecules can act as modifiers of P. Of course, more complex structures can be designed, successively involving various molecules in the chemical modification of the surface site structure, for example,... 

Graphite may be the thermodynamically most stable modification of carbon. StUl it is chemically attacked more easily than diamond due to its layered structure and the comparatively weak interaction between the graphene sheets. Altogether the graphite s reactivity toward many chemicals is rather low nevertheless. With chlorine, for example, it does not react at all under usual conditions, and even with fluorine reaction occurs only at more than -400 °C. Suitable performance yields the transparent, colorless carbon monofluoride CF (up to CF1.12 due to additional fluorine atoms at marginal positions and defects), a chemically very resistant... 

Oxadiazoles experienced an almost 80-year long period of scientific lethargy before they tickled the curiosity of chemists. The study of chemical and photochemical reactivity of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles opened the way to a series of applications in heterocyclic synthesis. Today, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are known in medicinal chemistry for their use as bioisosters of esters and amides. Furthermore, fluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazoles have been applied in materials science either by themselves or for the targeted modification of polymers and macromolecules. Overall, the synthesis of... 

Fluoropolymers, such as poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), and SAM-forming molecules, such as perfluorinated thiols, silanes, and n-alkanoic acids, are widely used for surface fluorina-tion in academia and industry (e.g., as easy-to-clean surfaces). The modification of surfaces with PTFE is chemically challenging because of its low reactivity and solubility. Thiols, on the other hand, generally form stable layers on (noble) metals only and are thus not applicable to the functionalization of most materials. Utilizing catechol derivatives to fluorinate a wide variety of surfaces in order to render them hydrophobic or nonadhesive is therefore a promising alternative. 

Various strategies for the syntheses of either aliphatic or aromatic functional fluorinated monomers have been proposed in the hterature. Because of their costs, they have been involved in copolymerization with fluoroalkenes, and although a lack of basic research is noted (e.g., no assessment of the reactivity ratios), many apphed investigations have been developed. In fact, most companies producing fluorinated monomers and derivatives have solved the challenge to prepare fluorocopolymers bearing sulfonic acid side groups. Nevertheless, quite a few studies concern phosphonic acid function. Compared with direct copolymerization, the alternative to prepare fluorofunctional copolymers by chemical modification of polymers is often employed.
