Substituted aryl-boron compounds comprising at least oneF atom, as illustrated by the formula (I), where at least one of Yor YisF and Ais a substituted aromatic ring, with Gbeing, independently, C or N, and where the substitutents of the aromatic ring or polycyclic moiety (other than boron) comprise at least one electron-withdrawing group (EWG), providing that sigma total (σ) for all substituents on the aromatic ring or polycyclic moiety except B is about 0.06 or more when said at least one EWG is positioned ortho to B, or about 0.2 or more when no EWG is positioned ortho to B. The compounds include neutral (N=1) and ionic borate (N=2) embodiments. The compounds are useful as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents.
