Tetrafluoromethane is the product when any carbon compound, including carbon itself, is burned in an atmosphere of fluorine. With hydrocarbons, hydrogen fluoride is a coproduct. It was first reported in 1926. [7] It can also be prepared by the fluorination of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or phosgene with sulfur tetrafluoride.
Manganese tetrafluoride is an unstable solid that decomposes even at room temperature. [62] Only one of the two allotropes, α-MnF 4, is understood. In this compound, manganese forms –MnF 6 – octahedra which share bridging fluorines to make –Mn 4 F 20 – rings which are then further connected three dimensionally. [63]
Carbon–fluorine bonds can have a bond dissociation energy (BDE) of up to 130 kcal/mol. [2] The BDE (strength of the bond) of C–F is higher than other carbon–halogen and carbon–hydrogen bonds. For example, the BDEs of the C–X bond within a CH 3 –X molecule is 115, 104.9, 83.7, 72.1, and 57.6 kcal/mol for X = fluorine, hydrogen ...

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 ...
Because the fluoride anion is highly basic, many alkali metal fluorides form bifluorides with the formula MHF 2. Sodium and potassium bifluorides are significant to the chemical industry. [2] Among other monofluorides, only silver(I) [3] and thallium(I) [4] fluorides are well-characterized. Both are very soluble, unlike the other halides of ...
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is a fluorocarbon with the chemical formula C 2 F 4. It is the simplest perfluorinated alkene. This gaseous species is used primarily in the industrial preparation of fluoropolymers. It was first reported as "dicarbon tetrafluoride" in 1890. [2]
The trifluoromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula-CF 3. The naming of is group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula -CH 3), by replacing each hydrogen atom by a fluorine atom. Some common examples are trifluoromethane H– CF 3, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane H 3 C – CF 3, and hexafluoroacetone F 3 C –CO– CF 3.
