A composition comprising a partially fluorinated compound of:
- (a) I(CF2)xCH═CH2 (Formula III);
- and
- wherein x is an odd integer selected from 3 to 11.
A method of making a polymer comprising:
- (a) providing a partially fluorinated compound, I(CF2)xCH═CH2 (Formula III) wherein x is an odd integer selected from 3 to 11;
- a fluorinated olefinic monomer;
- and an initiator;
- and
- (b) polymerizing the partially fluorinated compound and the fluorinated olefinic monomer to form a polymer.
A method of making a perfluorinated compound comprising:
- (a) reducing a perfluorodisulfonyl fluoride to form a disulfinate;
- and
- (b) reacting the disulfinate with iodine to form a perfluorinated diiodo-compound.
A method of making a partially fluorinated compound comprising reacting a molecule of the formula I(CF2)xI with ethylene to form I(CF2)xCH2CH2I, wherein x is an odd integer selected from 3 to 11.
