During the past fifteen years commercial interest in compounds
containing carbon fluorine bonds has burgeoned beyond all
expectations, mainly owing to business opportunities arising from
work on biologically active fluoroorganics-particularly
agrochemicals, the relentless search for new markets for
fluoropolymers and fluoro carbon fluids, developments in the field
of medical diagnostics, and the drive to find replacements for
ozone-depleting CFCs and Halon fire-extinguishing agents. Judging
the situation to warrant the publication of a comprehensive
collection of up-to-date reviews dealing with commercial
organofluorine compounds within a single volume of manageable size
(and hence reasonable cost), we were delighted to be invited by
Plenum Publishing Corporation to produce a suitable book. In order
to provide an authentic and wide-ranging account of current
commercial applications of fluoroorganic materials, it clearly was
necessary to assemble a sizeable team of knowledgeable contributing
authors selected almost entirely from industry. Through their
efforts we have been able to produce an almost complete coverage of
the modem organofluorochemicals business in a manner designed to
attract a reader ship ranging from experts in the field, through
chemists and technologists currently unaware of the extent of
industrial involvement with fluoroorganics, to students of applied
chemistry. Promised chapters dedicated to perfluoroolefin oxides
and 18F labeling of radiopharmaceuticals failed to materialize.
This is somewhat unfortunate in view of our aim to achieve
comprehensive coverage of the subject.
