Spherical Perfluoropolyethers
Abstract
Four fluorocarbon compounds of generic class C(CF2OR)4 {where R = CF3, C(CF3)3, CF2CF3, or CF2CF2CF3} synthesized by direct fluorination of corresponding hydrocarbons. Molecules of these compounds approximately spherical and act as "molecular ball bearings." In addition to potential utility as lubricants, compounds expected thermally stable and useful as heat-transfer fluids or even vapor-phase-soldering fluids.
