The viscosity and vapor pressure of the reactive chelating ligand,
1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione
(H+hfac) have been determined. The viscosity of
liquid H+hfac was determined to be (1.39 ± 0.19)
×
10-3 Pa·s at 24 °C and (8.35 ± 0.25)
× 10-4 Pa·s at 35 °C. The vapor
pressure of H+hfac was found to
range from 4 kPa at 0 °C to 49.5 kPa at 57 °C. The viscosity
was measured using a capillary tube
viscometer, and the vapor pressure was measured using a mass transfer
gas saturation apparatus. These
methods were employed because conventional methodologies would have
produced unreliable data due
to the formation of the tetrol hydrate of H+hfac
inside the apparatus and potentially exposed laboratory
personnel to hazardous working conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
