Modern fluoroorganic chemistry

the long version

"In this handbook, Peer Kirsch clearly shows that this field is no longer an exotic area of research. Aimed primarily at synthetic chemists wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the implications of including the highly unusual element fluorine in organic compounds, the main part of the book presents a wide range of synthetic methodologies. The experimental procedures selected show that this can be done with standard laboratory equipment. To round off, the author looks at fluorous chemistry and the applications of organofluorine compounds in liquid crystals, polymers and more besides."--Jacket.
