Fluorobenzenes

Fluorobenzenes are a group of aryl fluorides/halobenzenes consisting of one or more fluorine atoms as substituents on a benzene core. They have the formula C₆H_6–nF_n, where n = 1–6 is the number of fluorine atoms. Depending on the number of fluorine substituents, there may be several constitutional isomers possible.^[1]

• Monofluorobenzene

• Trifluorobenzene
  • 1,2,3-Trifluorobenzene
