Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1.0 mL portion of dodecafluoroheptanol (PCR) was added to 1.0 mL of dodecafluoropentane to form a clear, homogenous solution. The same quantity of octafluoropentanol in dodecafluoropentane yielded two clear, non-mixing phases. The addition of 2.0 to 4.0 mL water to the dodecafluoroheptanol-dodecafluoropentane yielded two non-mixing phases. Upon cooling to 4° C. the two clear phases changed to three clear phases.
