Fluorine molecule covalent bonding by way of a shared electron pair... 

Steric Factors. Initially, most of the coUisions of fluorine molecules with saturated or aromatic hydrocarbons occur at a hydrogen site or at a TT-bond (unsaturated) site. When coUision occurs at the TT-bond, the double bond disappears but the single bond remains because the energy released in initiation (eq. 4) is insufficient to fracture the carbon—carbon single bond. Once carbon—fluorine bonds have begun to form on the carbon skeleton of either an unsaturated or alkane system, the carbon skeleton is somewhat stericaUy protected by the sheath of fluorine atoms. Figure 2, which shows the crowded hehcal arrangement of fluorine around the carbon backbone of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is an example of an extreme case of steric protection of carbon—carbon bonds (29). 

The nonbonding electron clouds of the attached fluorine atoms tend to repel the oncoming fluorine molecules as they approach the carbon skeleton. This reduces the number of effective coUisions, making it possible to increase the total number of coUisions and stiU not accelerate the reaction rate as the reaction proceeds toward completion. This protective sheath of fluorine atoms provides the inertness of Teflon and other fluorocarbons. It also explains the fact that greater success in direct fluorination processes has been reported when the hydrocarbon to be fluorinated had already been partiaUy fluorinated by some other process or was prechlorinated, ie, the protective sheath of halogens reduced the number of reactive coUisions and aUowed reactions to occur without excessive cleavage of carbon—carbon bonds or mnaway exothermic processes. 

Low temperature fluorination techniques (—78° C) are promising for the preparation of complex fluorinated molecules, especiaUy where functional groups are present (30), eg, fluorination of hexamethjiethane to perfluorohexamethylethane [39902-62-0] of norbomane to perfluoro- (CyF 2) 1-hydro undecafluoronorbomane [4934-61 -6] C HF, and of adamantane to 1-hydropentadecafluoroadamantane [54767-15-6]. 

The variety of fluoride compounds that exist and the wide spectrum of their preparation methods are related to the properties of fluorine, and above all to fluorine s high electronegativity. Low dissociation energy of the fluorine molecule, F2, relatively high energies of bond formation found in most fluoride compounds, as well as fluorine s strong oxidizing ability lead, in some cases, to spontaneous fluorination. 

As well as a bonding pair of electrons, a fluorine molecule also possesses lone pairs of electrons that is, pairs of valence electrons that do not take part in bonding. The lone pairs on one F atom repel the lone pairs on the other F atom, and this repulsion is almost enough to overcome the favorable attractions of the bonding pair that holds the atoms together. This repulsion is one of the reasons why fluorine gas is so reactive the atoms are bound together as F2 molecules only very weakly. Among the common diatomic molecules, only H2 has no lone pairs.

In this contribution it is shown that local density functional (LDF) theory accurately predicts structural and electronic properties of metallic systems (such as W and its (001) surface) and covalently bonded systems (such as graphite and the ethylene and fluorine molecules). Furthermore, electron density related quantities such as the spin density compare excellently with experiment as illustrated for the di-phenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Finally, the capabilities of this approach are demonstrated for the bonding of Cu and Ag on a Si(lll) surface as related to their catalytic activities. Thus, LDF theory provides a unified approach to the electronic structures of metals, covalendy bonded molecules, as well as semiconductor surfaces. 

Table n. Bond lengths (in A) and vibrational frequencies (in cm ) for the fluorine molecule... 

It is remarkable that LDF theory also describes the bond length and vibrational frequency of the fluorine molecule with the same error bar as the other systems discussed here. This finding is significant as it shows that the error made in the LDF approach appears to be consistent in a wide class of different systems. In fact, recent calculations on ferrocene (52) show that also this type of metallo-organic compound does not present an exception - the Fe/ring distance agrees within 0.002 A with experiment. 

Each nucieus of a hydrogen moiecuie has a charge of+1. Consequently, both nuclei attract electrons equally. The result is a symmetricai distribution of the eiectron density between the atoms. Each nucleus of a fluorine molecule has a charge of +9, and again the eiectrons experience the same net attraction toward both nuclei. In a chemical bond between identical atoms, the two nuclei share the bonding eiectrons equally.

The use of organic polymers as conductors and semiconductors in the electronics industry has led to a huge research effort in poly(thiophenes), with a focus on the modification of their electronic properties so that they can behave as both hole and electron conductors. Casado and co-workers [60] have performed combined experimental and theoretical research using Raman spectroscopy on a variety of fluorinated molecules based on oligomers of thiophene, an example of one is shown in Figure 7. 

SAQ 9.7 From Equation (9.20), calculate the wavenumber co of the vibrational band for the fluorine molecule. The force constant k for F2 is listed in Table 9.5. 

Chemical bonds are classified into two groups transfer of electrons creates an ionic bond while the sharing of electrons leads to a covalent bond. Before studying chemical bonds we need to become familiar with their representation. Chemical bonds may be represented in several ways. We are going to study orbital representation, electron dot representation and line representation. Let s examine these three types using the example of the fluorine molecule, F2. 

Bond structure can also be represented by lines. Each electron pair is shown by a line. In other words two electrons are shown by a line So the line representation of the fluorine molecule is IF—FI. The line between the two fluorine atoms represents the bond. Sometimes both the Lewis symbol and line representation can be used in the same molecule. For example, the F2 molecule can also be represented as F— F ... 

The most important concept when working stoichiometry problems such as this one is moles. We must have moles to proceed. The mole determination of iodine will involve the molar mass of iodine (2 x 126.9 g/mol), while the mole determination of fluorine will involve Avogadro s number (since we have number of fluorine molecules). We can find the moles of each as follows ... 

The period 2 non-metals from carbon to fluorine must fill their 2 s and their three 2p orhitals to acquire a nohle gas configuration like that of neon. Covalent bonding that involves these elements obeys the octet rule. In the formation of the diatomic fluorine molecule, F2, for example, the bonding (shared) pair of electrons gives each fluorine atom a complete valence level. 

This section reviews these research efforts in the past decade on developing new solvents and lithium salts for nonaqueous electrolytes of lithium ion cells, but the cosolvents or additives developed for nonflammable electrolytes, most of which are phosphorus or fluorinated molecules, are not included, since their presence is intended for improvement in safety rather than performance. They will be reviewed in section 8.5. 

The incorporation of magnesium particles into fluorine-containing polymeric materials, such as polyfluoroethylene (Tf) or vinyUdene fluoride hexafluoropropene polymer (Vt), generates energetic pyrolants. The magnesium particles are oxidized by fluorine molecules eliminated from these polymers to produce high-tempera-ture magnesium fluoride. 

Fig. 2. Simultaneous detection of multiple fluorinated molecules in vivo. To explore the hypothesis that uptake of the anticancer drug 5FU by tumors is pH dependant, we infused 5FU (0.4 ml (50 mg/ml) IV), the extracellular pH reporter CF3POL (400 mg/kg IP), and the chemical shift standard NaTFA (200 mg/kg IP) into an anesthetized rat (1% isoflurane) with a subcutaneous 13762NF breast tumor (1.4 x 1.5 x 1.1 cm). Thirty minutes after administration, all four molecules were detectable simultaneously in 17 min. At this stage, no metabolites of 5FU were detected.

Many active F NMR reporter molecules have been designed, developed, and exploited, but other methods use a passive approach. In essence, fluorinated molecules occupy a space and a signal magnitude provides an indication of anatomical properties such as lung volume, bowel function, vascular volume, or flow.
