1,2-Dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane is a volatile liquid chlorofluoroalkane composed of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine and fluorine, and with structural formula CClF₂CHClF. It is also known as a refrigerant with the designation R-123a.^[1]

Formation

1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane can be biotransformed in sewage sludge to 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane.^[2]

Properties

The critical temperature of R-123a is 461.6 K (188.5 °C; 371.2 °F).^[3] The rotation of the molecule appears to be hindered by the present of chlorine on each carbon atom, but is eased at higher temperatures.^[3]

Use

Although not deliberately used, R-123a is a significant impurity in its isomer, the widely used 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-123).^[3]
