Abstract

Advances in the field of fluorine chemistry have been applied extensively to the syntheses of 18F-labelled organic compounds and radiopharmaceuticals. However, 18F has sparely been used as a tool to explore inorganic chemistry and can be viewed as a research area worthy of further development. This review highlights the application of 18F in development of inorganic fluorinating agents, mechanistic studies and imaging tools.
