The Synthesis and Reactivity of Perfluorinated Iron Pthalocyanine
Faculty Sponsor: Sergiu M. Gorun
Alkanes are a class of compounds that are extremely unreactive making them almost useless in industry and chemical synthesis. William Brucker worked to find a way to make alkanes more useful by observing the oxidative effects of the first perfluorinated Iron pthalocyanine compound on various alkanes.
