Starting from six industrially available fluorinated pyridines, an expedient access to all three tetrafluoropyridines (2-4), all six trifluoropyridines (5-10), and the five non-commercial difluoropyridines (11-14 and 16) was developed. The methods employed for the selective removal of fluorine from polyfluoropyridines were the reduction by metals or complex hydrides and the site-selective replacement by hydrazine followed by dehydrogenation-dediazotation or dehydrochlorination-dediazotation. To introduce an extra fluorine atom, a suitable precursor was metalated and chlorinated before being subjected to a chlorine/fluorine displacement process.

Visible-light-driven photocatalytic uranium extraction based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are green and sustainable, but their performance is severely restricted by a strong exciton effect. Herein, inspired by the physiology of cardiac pacing, a novel fluorine-based COF (PyF-DaS-COF) with a biomimetic electronic pump has been fabricated and used for the photocatalytic extraction of uranium. Both experimental and theoretical calculations confirm that strongly electronegative fluorine plays a crucial role in exciton dissociation and charge transfer.

Defluorination reactions are increasingly vital due to the extensive use of organofluorine compounds with robust carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds; particularly, the efficient defluorination of widespread and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances under mild conditions is crucial due to their accumulation in the environment and human body. Herein, we demonstrate that surface-modified silicate of pronounced proton affinity can confine active hydrogen (•H) onto nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) by withdrawing electrons from nZVI to react with bound protons, generating confined active hydrogen (•H) for efficient defluorination under ambient conditions. The exposed silicon cation (Si) of silicate functions as a Lewis acid site to activate the C-F bond by forming Si.

The contamination of ground and surface waters with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is of major concern due to their potential adverse effects on human health. The carbon-fluorine bond makes these compounds extremely stable and hardly degradable by natural processes. Therefore, methods for PFAS removal from water are desperately needed.

Wastewater receives per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from diverse consumer and industrial sources, and discharges are known to be a concern for drinking water quality. The PFAS family includes thousands of potential chemical structures containing organofluorine moieties. Exposures to a few well-studied PFAS, mainly perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAA), have been associated with increased risk of many adverse health outcomes, prompting federal drinking water regulations for six compounds in 2024.
