DECAFLUOROBENZOPHENONE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

solid

Uses

Perfluorobenzophenone was used in the synthesis of fluorinated acridones and acridines. Fluorinated polyetherketones prepared from decafluorobenzophenone. Laser pulse excitation of decafluorobenzophenone (DFB) in acetonitrile yields the triplet 3DFB.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Perfluorobenzophenone alcoholic solution generates ketyl and radical anion which can be studied by electron spin resonance spectra. Perfluorobenzophenone undergoes photolysis to form ketyl (C6F5)C.OH radical.
