1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro[2.2]Paracyclophane

DowSil™ FluoroPhane™ OP-220 1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane is a high-purity fluorinated cyclophane offering exceptional thermal stability, low dielectric constant (~1.9), and outstanding chemical inertness. Ideal for advanced microelectronics encapsulation, OLED interlayers, and precision surface modification where ultra-low polarizability and oxidative resistance are critical. Synthesized via controlled electrophilic fluorination, it features rigid paracyclophane backbone with eight symmetric fluorine atoms ensuring uniform film formation and minimal outgassing.

1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro[2.2]Paracyclophane – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this compound?

A: The CAS Number is 1822597-41-1.


Q2: What is the recommended processing concentration for solution-based thin-film fabrication?

A: For spin-coating, use 2–5 mg/mL in hot chlorobenzene (60–70 °C); pre-filter through a 0.2 µm PTFE syringe filter immediately before deposition.


Q3: How does it compare to non-fluorinated [2.2]paracyclophane in terms of thermal stability and film-forming behavior?

A: It exhibits ~65 °C higher decomposition onset (TGA 5% weight loss) and forms more homogeneous, lower-surface-energy films due to suppressed π–π stacking and enhanced conformational rigidity.


Q4: Is extraction or migration observed under standard ISO 10993-12 simulated physiological conditions?

A: No detectable leachables (<0.1 ppm) were observed after 72 h immersion in 50% ethanol/water at 37 °C, per validated LC-MS/MS testing protocols.
