1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorohexyl iodide Structural

What is 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorohexyl iodide?

Description

1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorohexyl iodide is a polyfluorinated iodine alkane (PFI). This compound consists of an even-numbered hydrophobic alkyl chain (typically C4–C12), which is wholly or partially fluorinated and includes an iodine atom at one or both ends. PFIs are reaction products synthesized from the telomerization process by iodine pentafluoride reacting with unsaturated taxogen molecules such as tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. PFIs are used as critical industrial intermediates for producing various PFCs, such as fluorotelomer alcohols, olefins, and acrylate monomers[1].
