The Uses of Perfluoro-1-iodohexane

Perfluorohexyl Iodide is an important intermediate in the synthesis of organic fluorides products. It also exhibits estrogenic activity in vitro. Perfluorohexyl Iodide is used in the screening assay for binding affinities of perfluoroalkyl iodide for estrogen receptor alpha and beta isoforms.

General Description

Perfluorohexyl iodide forms 1:1 complexes with a variety of hydrogen-bond acceptors. It has been grafted onto the isocitronellene/propene copolymer by radical reaction yielding a poly(α-olefin) with fluorinated side chains. The radical addition of perfluorohexyl iodide to vinyl acetate, using azo-bis( isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator, has been investigated.

Safety Profile

Explodes in contact with sodium when heated to the boiling point of the iodide. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Fí and Ií.
