Abstract
Compositions of Fluorotelomers are provided that can include RF(RT)nQ and/or one or both of them. Within these compositions the RF group can have at least four fluorine atoms, the RT group can include at least one C-2 group having at least one pendant -CF3 group, n can be at least 1, the R1 group can include at least one carbon atom, and the Q group can include one or more atoms of the periodic table of elements. Compositions are provided that can also include RCl(RT)nH, with the RC1 group having at least one -CCl3 group. [0004] Telomerization processes are also provided that include exposing at least one CF3-comprising taxogen to a fluorine-comprising telogen to produce a telomer, with the fluorine-comprising telogen including at least four fluorine atoms.
