LS-52 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecanethiol
CAS NO. 34143-74-3
Silfluo LS-52 is 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecanethiol, a long-chain perfluoroalkyl thiol.
The molecule contains a C₈F₁₇ perfluorinated segment and a reactive mercapto (–SH) group.
The thiol group enables covalent bonding to gold, silver, copper, and other noble metal surfaces via Au–S or Ag–S bond formation, and participates in radical reactions and thiol-ene chemistry.
The perfluorinated chain reduces surface energy and provides water- and oil-repellent character on treated surfaces.
Used in SAM deposition on metal surfaces, fluoropolymer synthesis, chain transfer agent applications, and anti-fouling coating research.
