Inorganic Fluorides and Related Compounds
Inorganic Fluorides and Related Compounds is a research topic within Inorganic Chemistry. Science Explorer counts 38k research works in it since 1950. 13.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the chemistry of noble gas compounds, particularly focusing on their interactions with fluoride ions, metal fluorides, Lewis acidity, and transition metal hexafluorides. It also delves into the use of solid state NMR and matrix isolation spectroscopy to study these compounds, as well as their applications in high surface area materials and fluoride ion batteries.
