Product Information

• Name: Octafluoroadipic Acid
• Synonyms: Octafluorohexanedioic AcidPerfluoroadipic AcidPerfluorohexanedioic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Octafluoroadipic acid is a lipophilic, acidic molecule that has been shown to have x-ray crystal structures. It can be synthesized in the laboratory by reacting phosphorus pentachloride with hydrogen fluoride and an inorganic acid. Octafluoroadipic acid has been used as a catalyst in oxidation reactions, most notably for the synthesis of benzaldehyde from acetone. The compound is also used as a chelating agent, forming a complex with metal ions to prevent their interaction with other molecules. Octafluoroadipic acid is slightly soluble in water owing to its acidic nature and high molecular weight, but it can be supercritically condensed into a liquid form at pressures above 700 bar.
