BACKGROUND For many years, topical use of fluorides has gained greater popularity than systemic use of fluorides. A possible adverse effect associated with the use of topical fluoride is the development of dental fluorosis due to the ingestion of excessive fluoride by young children with developing teeth. OBJECTIVES To describe the relationship between the use of topical fluorides in young ch...

Low-water soluble metal fluorides such as magnesium fluoride (MgF2) and calcium (CaF2) were evaluated for decay protection of wood. Initially, the biocidal efficacy nano (NMFs) against wood destroying fungi was assessed with an in-vitro agar test. The results from test showed that medium containing MgF2 CaF2 more efficient in preventing fungal than stand-alone or CaF2. These fluorides, their na...

The first catalytic allylic C-H fluorination reaction using a nucleophilic fluoride source is reported. Under the influence of a Pd/Cr cocatalyst system, simple olefin substrates undergo fluorination with Et3N·3HF in good yields with high branched:linear regioselectivity. The mild conditions and broad scope make this reaction a powerful alternative to established methods for the preparation of ...
