Pentafluorophenol, a<unk> . A<unk>  <unk>  or perfluoro compound is an organofluorine compound containing only carbon-fluorines and C-C bonds but also other heteroatoms.<unk> s have properties that result from the presence of fluorocarbons (containing only C–F and C–C bonds) and the functional group. Common functional groups in<unk> s are OH, CO2H, chlorine, O, and SO3H. Electrofluorination is the predominant method of production. Some of these compounds known as perfluoroalkanes can remain in our atmosphere for a long time. They bioaccumulate due to their chemical stability. Because of their potential contribution to climate change, they were regulated under the Kyoto Protocol. Some fluorosurfactants have proven toxic in animal testing while widespread industrial applications continue.
