Description

Heptafluorobutyric acid is an organic compound that belongs to the group of sodium salts. It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of -19°C. Heptafluorobutyric acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by reacting with hydrogen fluoride and forming fluoroheptafluoropropane, which may have toxicological effects on humans. Heptafluorobutyric acid is also used as an analytical method for determining plasma mass spectrometry in human serum samples and wastewater treatment. The toxicity of heptafluorobutyric acid has been studied in rats and mice, where it was found to cause locomotor activity depression and neurotoxic effects at high doses.
