Common fluorocarbons include the Ozone depleting Chlorofluorocarbon s as well the related Hydrochlorofluorocarbon , which are less threatening to the ozone. Triflic Acid , CF3SO3H, and Trifluoroacetic Acid s, CF3CO2H are important reagents in Organic Synthesis . Fluorocarbon polymers are also well-known. These polymers are tough, chemical inert, and electrically insulating. The most famous example is DuPont's Teflon , a polymer of Tetrafluoroethylene . Similarly, organofluorine stain-repellants are widely used (such as perfluorobutanesulfonate, and perfluorooctanesulfonate, related to Perfluorooctanoic Acid ). Nafion is an acidic fluorocarbon polymer used in Fuel Cells . Fluorocarbons are also used in fishing line and myriad precision plastics applications. Flurocarbon compounds are also used in highly precise lubrication applications. Few naturally-occurring organic compounds contain fluorine, in contrast with natural products that contain chlorine, bromine. The C-F bond is generally metabolically stable and many pharmaceuticals contain C-F bonds. |
