Sanfan perfluorodecyl trimethoxysilane is an organosilicon compound with the chemical formula C13H13F17O3Si, CAS: 83048-65-1, EINECS: 617-434-7, chemical formula: C13H13F17O3Si, molecular weight: 568.3. It consists of a heptadecafluorodecyl group and three methoxysilane groups.
The heptadecafluorodecyl group is composed of seventeen fluorine atoms connected to an octyl framework, and its presence gives the compound extremely strong hydrophobicity. Compared with other organosilicon compounds, the introduction of the heptadecafluorodecyl group makes it extremely hydrophilic at the oil-water interface and has good antifouling function.
At the same time, the trimethoxysilane group carries a silicon-oxygen-carbon bond, which makes it play a role in stabilizing the molecular structure in the compound. This compound is often used as an additive for coatings, surface treatment agents and waterproofing agents to improve the water resistance, oil resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of materials. It can also be used as a coordination agent and catalyst precursor for strongly hydrophobic environments in organic synthesis and catalytic reactions.
