Abundances are given as pollution free monthly mean mole fractions in parts-per-trillion. Atmospheric concentration of CF 4 (PFC-14) vs. similar man-made gases (right graph). Note the log scale. Tetrafluoromethane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect.
The carbon–fluorine bond is a polar covalent bond between carbon and fluorine that is a component of all organofluorine compounds. It is one of the strongest single bonds in chemistry (after the B–F single bond, Si–F single bond, and H–F single bond), and relatively short, due to its partial ionic character.
In a similar fashion in 2001 it was found that the carbon allotrope fullerene, C 60 reacts with fluorine gas to give fullerene fluorides with stoichiometries up to C 60 F 48. [3] A precursor of carbon monofluoride is the fluorine-graphite intercalation compound, also called fluorine-GIC. Other intercalation fluorides of carbon are:
Perfluoroalkanes are very stable because of the strength of the carbon–fluorine bond, one of the strongest in organic chemistry. [4] Its strength is a result of the electronegativity of fluorine imparting partial ionic character through partial charges on the carbon and fluorine atoms, which shorten and strengthen the bond (compared to carbon-hydrogen bonds) through favorable covalent ...
The F-gas Regulation adopts an approach based on containment and recovery of F-gases as well as imposing obligations on reporting, training and labeling on those using F-gases. On 26 September 2011, the Commission issued a report on the application, effects and adequacy of the Regulation, drawing from the results of an analytical study it ...
The covalent radius of fluorine of about 71 picometers found in F 2 molecules is significantly larger than that in other compounds because of this weak bonding between the two fluorine atoms. [9] This is a result of the relatively large electron and internuclear repulsions, combined with a relatively small overlap of bonding orbitals arising ...
Hexafluoroethane did not exist in significant amounts in the environment prior to industrial-scale manufacturing. Atmospheric concentration of hexafluoroethane reached 3 pptv at the start of the 21st century. [5] Its absorption bands in the infrared part of the spectrum cause a radiative forcing of about 0.001 W/m 2.
Tetrafluoroethylene is a synthetic colorless, odorless gas that is insoluble in water. Like all unsaturated fluorocarbons, it is susceptible to nucleophilic attack. It is unstable towards decomposition to carbon and carbon tetrafluoride (CF 4) and prone to form explosive peroxides in contact with air. [3] [4]
