Synthesis and Physical Properties of Polyfluoro‐Acridines Bearing Perfluoroalkyl Chains.

Here we describe the synthesis of polyfluoro-acridines functionalised with perfluoro-alkyl and perfluoro-alkoxy chains, obtained by Ullmann coupling reaction or aromatic nucleophilic substitution. Surface wettability of PMMA is changed by doping with tetrafluoro-perfluorodecyl-acridine, as shown by AFM and contact angle measurements.
