Perfluorocyclohexane or dodecafluorocyclohexane is a chemical which belongs to the class of fluorocarbons, sometimes referred to as perfluorocarbons or PFCs. Fluorocarbons and their derivatives are useful fluoropolymers, refrigerants, solvents, and anesthetics.

Synthesis

[edit]

Perfluorocyclohexane can be synthesized by fluorination of cyclohexane.[2]

Properties

[edit]

Perfluorocyclohexane is chemically inert and thermally stable. It is a relatively non-toxic, clear, waxy solid, which has a high vapor pressure and therefore sublimes readily at room temperature.[citation needed]

The molecule predominantly exists in its chair conformation, in which it possesses D3d molecular symmetry.
