Abstract
Highly fluorinated graphites were obtained by reaction of fluorine with graphite, at room temperature, in the presence of iodine pentafluoride and hydrogen fluoride. The re-fluorination between 100 and 600 °C yielded a series of fluorinated graphites with semi-ionic and covalent C−F bonds with varying amounts of sp2- and sp3-type carbon hybridization. Three types of materials have been generated: for re-fluorination lower than 400 °C, the C−F bond is still mainly semi-ionic and the carbon atoms are sp2 coplanar; for re-fluorination temperatures between 400 and 550 °C, “hybrid” graphite fluorides characterized by two types of C−F bonds, semi-ionic and covalent, with sp2 and sp3 carbon hybridization were found. For higher re-fluorination temperatures (between 550 and 600 °C), despite a similar fluorination amount and a covalent C−F bond, the sp2 character never completely vanished even at a high re-fluorination temperature of 600 °C. At such a temperature, a directly fluorinated graphite would be of the pure sp3 type.
