Fluorine insertion reactions into pre-formed metal oxides

Fluorine insertion reactions have been shown to be capable of modifying the physical properties of metal oxide materials, as a result of the structural and electronic consequences of fluorine insertion. This has been applied to copper oxide systems and has led to an enhanced understanding of the requirements for superconductivity, and more recently to other magnetic metal oxide systems where it has been shown to tune the magnetic properties of these materials. This review focuses on some important aspects of research on low temperature fluorine insertion reactions into pre-formed metal oxides, since 1998, and reports some new results.
