Pentafluoropyridine(CAS: 700-16-3)

Pentafluoropyridine is a heterocyclic compound with the chemical formula C5H3FN5. It is a yellow or orange crystalline solid with a high melting point and low solubility in water. It is known for its strong basic properties and its ability to form complexes with various metal ions.

Pentafluoropyridine is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, organic compounds, and as a Lewis base in chemical reactions. It also plays a role in the development of materials with specific electronic properties and is used in some industrial applications requiring strong basic reagents.

Pentafluoropyridine is considered toxic and requires proper handling precautions. It should be stored in a sealed container away from heat and sources of ignition. Handling should be done in a well-ventilated area and protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn. Ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact can be hazardous. It is classified as a hazardous substance and should comply with relevant safety standards and regulations.

Pentafluoropyridine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture and light. A temperature of 15-25°C is recommended, and humidity should be controlled to prevent degradation. Exposure to light and air should be minimized to maintain its stability. Proper waste disposal procedures should be followed according to local regulations.
