Abstract

The influence of fluorine on the physical, chemical and biological properties of molecules is described. A discussion of the effect of fluorination on bond lengths and bond strengths is presented in the course of an analysis of the steric demand of fluorinated substituents. These steric effects as well as electronic interactions are illustrated in a discussion of fluorinated vitamin D3 and prostaglandin and thromboxane analogs.
