2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoroheptanoic acid

Description:

2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoroheptanoic acid, commonly referred to as DDFHA, is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by a long carbon chain fully substituted with fluorine atoms. This structure imparts unique properties, including high thermal stability, low surface tension, and resistance to chemical degradation. DDFHA is typically a colorless liquid or solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic and lipophobic characteristics, making it useful in various applications, including surfactants and coatings. Its fluorinated nature contributes to its environmental persistence, raising concerns regarding bioaccumulation and toxicity. The compound is part of a larger class of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have been scrutinized for their potential health effects and environmental impact. Regulatory measures are increasingly being implemented to manage the use and disposal of such substances due to their long-lasting presence in the environment. Overall, DDFHA exemplifies the dual nature of fluorinated compounds, offering beneficial properties while posing significant environmental and health challenges.
