This process is significant in the synthesis of specific fluorinated compounds (Lahiouhel, Améduri, & Boutevin, 2001).
• Reactive Disubstituted Perfluorohexanes: Smith and Gilman (1975) describe the preparation of reactive 1,6-disubstituted perfluorohexanes using alkyllithium and Grignard reagents. These compounds have enhanced stability and potential applications across various fields (Smith & Gilman, 1975).
• Layered Solids in Halogen Bonding: Metrangolo et al. (2004) researched the halogen bonding driven self-assembly of perfluorinated telechelic diiodoalkanes, including 1,6-diiodoperfluorohexane, with other compounds. This results in the formation of layered co-crystals, demonstrating applications in crystal engineering (Metrangolo, Pilati, Resnati, & Stevenazzi, 2004).
• Environmental Pollution Research: Shen and Jin (2011) explored the strong halogen bonding of 1,6-diiodoperfluorohexane with halide anions, highlighting its importance in studies related to environmental pollution (Shen & Jin, 2011).
• Application in Light-Emitting Diodes: Beaupré, Ranger, and Leclerc (2000) studied the use of perfluorohexane derivatives in blue light-emitting diode materials, noting their strong emission and reversible p-n dopability, which offers advantages over other polyfluorene derivatives (Beaupré, Ranger, & Leclerc, 2000) .
• Perfluoroalkyl Iodides in Chemical Reactions: Chen, Li, and Zhou (1993) demonstrated the complexation and photoinduced electron-transfer reaction of perfluoroalkyl iodides, including 1,6-diiodoperfluorohexane, with various compounds, leading to perfluoroalkylated products under UV or heat treatment (Chen, Li, & Zhou, 1993).
• Mimicking Cyclization Reactions on Surfaces: Tjandra and Zaera (1999) investigated the thermal chemistry of 1,6-diiodohexane on Ni(100) surfaces, simulating cyclization reactions, which is crucial for understanding surface interactions in chemical processes (Tjandra & Zaera, 1999).
• Selective Fluoromethylation Methods: Hu, Zhang, and Wang (2009) highlighted the role of selective di- and monofluoromethylation methods, where compounds like 1,6-diiodoperfluorohexane play a critical role in introducing fluorine atoms into organic molecules. This benefits life science and materials science applications (Hu, Zhang, & Wang, 2009).
• Solid Phase Extraction in Environmental Analysis: Yan et al. (2012) discussed the use of halogen bonding interaction in the solid phase extraction of perfluorinated iodoalkanes, which improves recovery and analytical performance in soil samples. This has implications for environmental monitoring and pollution analysis (Yan, Shen, Zhao, Gao, Pang, & Jin, 2012).
