- the preparation of caged proteins. Fluorine is the most electronegative element and has a van der Waals radius of 1.47 Å [10]. Thus, substitution of a C–H bond with a C–F bond dramatically changes the electronic properties of the given molecule but exerts only a minor steric effect [11]. Due to the
