Abstract
One of the main differences between perfluoroolefins and their hydrocarbon analogs is the unusual ease of reactions with nucleophiles. This is generally attributed to the strong inductive effect of fluorine, the most electronegative element, which is only partially compensated by the reverse mesomeric effect due to the p electrons. As a result, the loss of a considerable portion of the electron density by the sp2-hybridized C atom promotes nucleophilic attack, and the small size of the F atom, which facilitates the ~ interaction, and the large inductive effect make it possible to easily realize a biradical state in fluoroolefins (especially tetrafluoroethylene), which favors the attack of radicals and polymerization according to a radical mechanism.
