Perfluorocyclobutane is a synthetic chemical compound belonging to the family of perfluorocarbons. It consists of a cyclobutane ring where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. This structure gives it unique properties, such as high thermal stability and low reactivity, making it useful in various industrial applications. Due to its chemical stability, perfluorocyclobutane is often explored for use in electronics, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. It can also serve as a potential alternative in greenhouse gas discussions, as it has a low global warming potential compared to other fluorinated compounds.
