Fluorination of antimonene hexagons

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Nov 12;60(91):13336-13339. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03423f.

Abstract

Fluorination of two-dimensional (2D) antimonene hexagons synthesized through a colloidal bottom-up approach has been explored using microwave-induced plasma and reactive ion etching fluorination strategies through the generation of CF4. The stability of the fluorine bond has been corroborated through DFT calculations. This work paves the way for further halogen-derivative modifications of heavy 2D pnictogens.
