Perfluorinated compound

A perfluorinated compound (PFC) or perfluoro compound is an organofluorine compound lacking C-H bonds. Many perfluorinated compounds have properties that are quite different from their C-H containing analogues. Common functional groups in PFCs are OH, CO₂H, chlorine, O, and SO₃H. Electrofluorination is the predominant method for their production. Due to their chemical stability, some of these perfluorinated compounds bioaccumulate.
