Abstract
Perfluoropropene reacts with 1,2-dicyano-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene to give the first perfluoroalkyl substituted phthalonitriles. The X-ray structures of the bis- and tris-substituted products reveal planar, un distorted rings and head-to-head and head-to-tail preferred conformati ons for the isopropyl substituents, respectively. As a result, the CF3 groups impart global non-planar character to the new molecules. (C) 1 998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
