22. The hydrophobic nature of fluorinated compounds often causes improved transport across the blood brain barrier. Improved oral bioavailability is seen in some systems where fluorine substitution leads to improved hydrolytic stability. Furthermore, replacement of sensitive or reactive groups such as C-OH, C-H, and C=O with fluorinated substituents has led to mechanism-based inhibitors for a wide variety of diseases and to chemotherapeutic drugs.

26. However, there are important exceptions. For a subset of compounds, the replacement of hydrogen by fluorine results in a significant lowering of their lipophilicity due to the fact that these compounds contain an oxygen functionality in close proximity to the fluorine substitution site leading to better solvation of the fluorinated compound in water: H.-J. Böhm, D. Banner, S. Bendels, M. Kansy, B. Kuhn, K. Müller, U. Obst-Sander and M. Stahl, ChemBioChem, 2004, 5, 637.

The authors explain the biochemistry of fluorinated substances, showing how a cooperative polar hydrophobic effect takes place in which extensive fluorine substitution for polar hydrophilic groups may increase the free energy of binding as the hydrophobic fluorocarbon surface, upon transfer to the receptor, liberates water molecules to the bulk solvent (entropically favoured) while concomitantly, enthalpically favorable dipolar interactions of the C-F bonds with cationic or dipolar residues in the receptor site are retained.

31. Thus, molecular dynamics simulations on mixtures involving water, hydrocarbons, and a variety of fluorinated molecules are currently carried out with the purpose of understanding the nature of the fluorous phase and to establish what kind of intermolecular forces can explain the formation of different phases at the University of Wisconsin at Madison by Professor Sandro Mecozzi's research group.

60. For instance, a new easy-to-use hand-held optical sol-gel oxygen sensor (named FOXY-LITE, see: http://www.oceanoptics.com) with a response time of less than 1 s has been commercialized at $1,999 since March 2004 by the US company Ocean Optics Ltd. The sensor uses a fluorescent ruthenium complex immobilized in a silica sol-gel matrix at the probe's tip. Fluorination of the sol-gel matrix described in ref. 9, however, enhances both sensitivity and stability of the sensor and is likely to be adopted soon by the company.

62. Most big chemical companies produce increasing amounts of fluorinated polymers as high value-added chemicals. For instance, former Italian company Ausimont (now owned by Solvay), in the year 2000 had a revenue of 490 million euros and almost 100 million euros of net tax profit selling fluorinated organics produced in eight plants (three in Italy, one in Germany and four in the US).

DuPont recently agreed pay more than $100 million to help local utilities remove perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from drinking water and fund a study on whether there is a connection between exposure to the chemical and disease in humans as residents near a company's plant in Virginia were harmed from drinking water that was contaminated with PFOA released by the facility:

67. It has recently been shown that the real origin of fluorinated carboxylic acids is not PFOA but, more likely, polyfluorinated alcohols that convert to PFOA or other carboxylic acids in the environment: (a) D. A. Ellis, J. W. Martin, A. O. De Silva, S. A. Mabury, M. D. Hurley, M. P. Sulbaek Andersen and T. J. Wallington, Environ. Sci. Technol., 2004, 38, 3316.

This refers to a new management approach to the environmental issues started in the mid 1980s with environmental certification programs such as Responsible Care, ISO 14001 and Emas, and evolved into the concept of sustainability as a central issue to be managed at the board level aiming at Zero Emissions performance level.
