Читать книгу Concise Handbook of Fluorocarbon Gases - Sina Ebnesajjad - Страница 12

Dictionaries define fluorocarbons as any of various chemically inert compounds containing mainly carbon and fluorine. They are used to produce refrigerants, fire extinguishing and foaming agents, aerosol propellants, polymers, nonstick coatings and lubricants. In the industry parlance the term fluorochemicals is often used instead of fluorocarbon. Rather fluorocarbons usually refer to small molecule fluorinated gases and liquids. The magic in these compounds of all sizes is in the carbon fluorine bond (C-F). It has a dissociation energy of 536 kJ/mol ranking as the single strongest carbon bond [1–4]. The replacement of C-H bond in hydrocarbons with C-F is the single most important factor giving rise to the unique properties of fluorocarbons.
