1,2-Dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane is a volatile liquid chlorofluoroalkane composed of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine and fluorine, and with structural formula CClF₂CHClF. It is also known as a refrigerant with the designation R-123a.[1]

Formation

1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane can be biotransformed in sewage sludge to 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane.[2]

Properties

The critical temperature of R-123a is 461.6 K (188.5 °C; 371.2 °F).[3] The rotation of the molecule appears to be hindered by the present of chlorine on each carbon atom, but is eased at higher temperatures.[3]

Use

Although not deliberately used, R-123a is a significant impurity in its isomer, the widely used 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-123).[3]

gollark: And it's not free if you're in space.

gollark: Not so much that you could get, say, 10^18kg of air if you really wanted it for some reason.

gollark: Sure, that's probably possible *eventually*, I guess?

gollark: Even if we completely solve all material goods there will be demand for services, intellectual works, experiences, sort of thing.

gollark: "How come you get *two* planets to live on? I need three!"
