General description

Tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile reacts with alkyl Grignard reagents to form corresponding 4-alkyltetrafluorobenzonitriles. Tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile acts as a four-electron donor ligand and forms tungsten(II)η2-nitrile complexes.

Application

Tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile can be used in the synthesis of Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIM). Tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile was used to study ultraviolet (UV)-rearranged polymers of PIM-1 membranes for efficient separation of H2 and CO2 .

Microporous polymers derived from the 1,2- and 1,4-regioisomers of di(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)tetraphenylbenzene have very different properties with the former being composed predominantly of cyclic oligomers whereas the latter is of high molar mass suitable for the formation of robust solvent-cast films of

There has been recent interest in polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) for solid-state hydrogen-storage materials; however, the gas-sorption properties and conditions for hydrogen uptake are relatively unexplored. PIM-1 has been synthesised using the condensation reaction between 3,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1,1-spirobisindane-5,5,6,6-tetraol and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophthalonitrile as
