Fluorobenzenes

Fluorobenzene is an aryl fluoride and the simplest of the fluorobenzenes, with the formula C6H5F, often abbreviated PhF. A colorless liquid, it is a precursor to many fluorophenyl compounds.

Hexafluorobenzene, HFB or perfluorobenzene is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formula . In this derivative of benzene, all hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine atoms. The technical uses of the compound are limited, although it has some specialized uses in the laboratory owing to distinctive spectroscopic properties.

1,2-Difluorobenzene, also known as DFB, is an aromatic compound with formula CHF. This colorless flammable liquid is a solvent used in the electrochemical studies of transition metal complexes. Compared to most conventional halogenated aliphatic and aromatic solvents, it possesses an exceptionally high dielectric constant (ε0 = 13.8 at 300 K). Thus, it can be a suitable solvent for cationic, and/or highly electrophilic organometallic complexes.

Pentafluorobenzene is a synthetic organofluoride compound with the molecular formula . The compound consists of a benzene ring substituted with five fluorine atoms. The substance is a colorless liquid with a boiling point similar to that of benzene.
