Pentafluorophenol is the organofluorine compound (specifically a fluoroalcohol) with the formula . This is the perfluorinated analogue of phenol. It is a white solid that melts just above room temperature, and smells of phenol. With a pKa of 5.5, it is one of the most acidic phenols and can be easily deprotonated to pentafluorophenolate.
