Description

Tetrafluoroterephthaldehyde (TFPA) is a reactive aldehyde that can be synthesized in the laboratory by the reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with an aromatic hydrocarbon or ester compound. TFPA has been used to study the synthesis of supramolecular assemblies and supramolecular chemistry. The radiation-induced formation of TFPA is a useful method for the synthesis of polymers, and the thermal expansion of TFPA is high enough to be used as a thermometer. TFPA has shown chemical stability in both acidic and alkaline media, as well as resistance to radiation and oxidation. TFPA also has a high boiling point, making it useful for desolvation during gas chromatography experiments.
