European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry

The European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry (ESFC) is a triennial academic conference on Fluorine chemistry founded in 1965. The conference is held in Europe, but traditionally it brings together the fluorine community from all over the world. The scientific programme of the Symposium covers all the areas of fluorine chemistry relevant to fundamental and applied research.

History The abstracts of 9th ESFCJ. Fluorine Chem., 1989, 45(1), 3-212 and 10th ESFCJ. Fluorine Chem., 1992, 58(2-3), 127-390 appeared as a special issue of the Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, a reference journal in the field; fluorine chemists Herbert W. Roesky and Giuseppe Resnati gave an invited lectures at the 18th ESFC (Kyiv, 2016);18th European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry: Kyiv, Ukraine, 2016. Book of abstracts, Herbert W.
