Abstract
Firstly, major physico-chemical impacts resulting from the incorporation of fluorine atom into hydrocarbon moiety of organic molecules are briefly described in alternate reference to its unique electronic features and various physical parameters essential with recent structure-activity studies, some of which are discussed respectively as active examples of pesticide developments on the basis of quantitative structure-activity relationship. Then, a number of new or important fluorine chemistry are introduced as useful tool for synthesis of pesticide molecules having fluorine atom. Finally, 24 of selected examples of fluorine containing pesticides of mostly late issue are compiled in view of visualizing the recent R & D trend.
