Product Information

• Name: Perfluorotridecane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Perfluorotridecane is a fluorinated chemical that is used as an antireflection coating on optical surfaces. It can be used in the fabrication of transparent materials, such as windows and lenses, to reduce reflection. Perfluorotridecane has a hydroxyl group at position 1, which will react with carboxylic acids to form esters. The presence of this functional group allows perflurotridecane to react with alginic acid to form ester bonds. This process can be completed in a single step and does not require harsh organic solvents or high temperatures. The nmr spectra for perfluorotridecane show three peaks at 5.8 ppm, 7.1 ppm, and 8.6 ppm that correspond to the hydroxy group, fluorine atom, and carbon-carbon double bond respectively.
