Description

8-Iodo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorotetradecane is a highly fluorinated organic iodide compound, serving as a critical building block for introducing both perfluoroalkyl chains and iodine functionality into advanced materials. Its unique structure combines the extreme hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability of a long perfluoroalkyl segment with the versatile reactivity of an iodine atom. This makes it an essential intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in high-tech sectors, particularly for developing specialty surfactants, surface modifiers, and novel fluoropolymers with tailored properties.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key precursor for synthesizing novel fluorosurfactants and fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomers used in coatings, paints, and electronics.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to impart oil-, water-, and stain-repellent characteristics to textiles, paper, and membranes via chemical grafting.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the research and development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals to enhance bioavailability and metabolic stability.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material Development: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and organic semiconductors for display and electronic applications.
• Perfluoroalkyl Iodide (Rf-I) Chemistry: Acts as a standard or starting material for various radical perfluoroalkylation reactions in organic synthesis.
• Lithium Battery Electrolyte Additives: Investigated for use as a fluorinated electrolyte additive to improve the stability and performance of high-energy-density batteries.
