Product Information

• Name: Pentafluoroiodobenzene, stabilized with copper
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pentafluoroiodobenzene is a hydrogen fluoride (HF) derivative of the aromatic compound, benzene. It is an important industrial chemical used in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. The structure of pentafluoroiodobenzene has been elucidated by X-ray crystallography and found to be a planar molecule with two fluorine atoms occupying the ortho positions and three iodine atoms occupying the para positions. Pentafluoroiodobenzene is a halogen that forms ionic bonds with metals and other halogens to form ionic compounds. Pentafluoroiodobenzene is also able to form coordination complexes with metal ions such as copper or zinc. The reaction mechanism for this process is not known at this time.
