Fluorine Chemistry in France

Résumé

Fluorine is an omnipresent chemical element in our everyday life. The last two decades have witnessed a spectacular growth of interest in selectively fluorinated molecular compounds. Nowadays, several hundreds of thousands molecules contain at least one fluorine atom. These molecules found essential applications in life sciences, medicine, pharmacology, medical imaging, agricultural chemistry, materials, etc. The manifold facets of fluorinated biomaterials and drugs are illustrated by examples ranging from inorganic ceramics to perfluorinated organic molecules. The applications include neuroleptics, anti-cancer, antibiotics, PET imaging for an early detection of tumors, etc. In the cornerstone field of energy storage and conversion, fluorine constitutes a keyelement because most devices devoted to the storage of the energy (lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells) use fluoride materials as electrodes, electrolytes containing a fluoride salt, fluoromembranes, etc. Another illustration is the impact of this element in the nuclear cycle via the synthesis of uranium hexafluoride which is an unavoidable step toward uranium enrichment. Through these examples, it is clear that whatever its state, fluorine has a significant societal impact.
