Banks. R.E. in Fluorine - The First Hundred Years Banks, R. E. Sharp. D.W.A. Tatlow. J.C., Eds. Elsevier Sequoia Lausanne, 1986 p 3 the early history of inorganic fluorine chemistry is described here. 

The direct fluorination of inorganic compounds is an area still in its early stages of development. Enough work has been completed to establish that direct fluorination techniques will add a new dimension to inorganic fluorine chemistry.

The reader is referred to the second chapter Preparative Methods by J. Grannec and L. Lozano in Inorganic Solid Fluorides , edited by P. Hagenmuller [3], for information on chemical syntheses and crystal growth techniques anterior to 1985, and for general instructions in major preparative techniques in the field of inorganic fluorine chemistry. Some excellent reviews of different topics in the field have been published past 1985 [4-9]. The wide synthetic possibilities of super-acidic media are described in T.A. O Donnell s book [10]. Synthetic and characterization methods with emphasis on solid compounds have been summarized in a book edited by A.K. Cheetham and P. Day [11],... 

Within this chapter we have tried to provide a sensible selection of synthetic reactions, spanning the broad and exciting field of inorganic fluorine chemistry. Several areas will be more deeply covered in consecutive, dedicated chapters of this monograph.

A number of other topical areas that are of current interest in inorganic fluorine chemistry and promise to be of continued interested towards the 21st century will be surveyed in the following pages. Many of these topics, but not all, are then described in more detail in later chapters.
