Fluorine nuclear properties

The section on Spectroscopy has been retained but with some revisions and expansion. The section includes ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray spectrometry. Detection limits are listed for the elements when using flame emission, flame atomic absorption, electrothermal atomic absorption, argon induction coupled plasma, and flame atomic fluorescence. Nuclear magnetic resonance embraces tables for the nuclear properties of the elements, proton chemical shifts and coupling constants, and similar material for carbon-13, boron-11, nitrogen-15, fluorine-19, silicon-19, and phosphoms-31. 

With regard to its use for PET, the nuclear properties of fluorine-18 are excellent. The positron energy of E +max = 633.5 keV is the lowest of the commonly used PET nuclides and results in... 

In comprehensive treatments of the chemistry of the halogens the properties of fluorine compounds are sufficiently different to motivate a separate chapter. A similar distinction is also practical in a discussion of manifestations of nuclear properties of the halogens, since all stable isotopes of chlorine, bromine and iodine have... 

In Table 1.1 we have collected some atomic and nuclear properties of the halogens, fluorine being included for completeness and comparison. To stress the ambiguity of some properties such as electronegativity and ionic radius we have listed values from different authors - the original articles should be consulted for an account of the underlying criteria and definitions. 

In Table 1 some atomic and nuclear properties of the halogens are summarized. Data on fluorine, although this nucleus is not treated here, are included for completeness and comparison. A more extensive collection of data is given in reference 1. 

Fullerenes can be derivatized by various means. For example, reaction with fluorine gas proceeds stepwise to the formation of colorless CeoFeo, which, according to the 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, contains just one type of F site and so evidently retains a high degree of symmetry.9 In view of the low adhesion typical of fluorocarbons, this spherical molecule is expected to have extraordinary lubricant properties. Curiously, bromination of Ceo is reversible on heating otherwise, the reactions of fullerenes resemble those of alkenes or arenes (aromatic hydrocarbons).
