General description

Tetrafluorophthalonitrile reacts with:
  • copper, copper (I) chloride or copper (II) chloride to yield copper (II) hexadecafluorophthalocyanine
  • potassium salt of 2-hydroxyhexafluoro-2-propylbenzene to yield 2-phenyl-2-(3,4-dicyano- trifluorophenoxy) hexafluoropropane
  • dipotassium salt of 1,3-bis(2-hdroxyhexafluoro-2- propyl) benzene to yield fluorinated phthalonitrile resins

Application

Tetrafluorophthalonitrile was used in the synthesis of dichloro-subphthalocyanine dimers.

The concept of eutectic molecular liquids (EMLs) was defined, and a strategy to form EMLs based on noncovalent interactions was proposed. We verified the formation and investigated the properties, interaction sites, and interaction energies of the obtained 16 EMLs. Moreover

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
