I created a new refrigerant!

General
Using my background in Fluorochemicals and chat GPT I have created a new refrigerant!
Name: HexaPerfluoroDoomethane
đ§Ș Chemical Formula: CClFâ(CFâ)â
(a chlorinated hexafluorocarbon with branching trifluoromethyl groupsâbecause why not?)
âïž ASHRAE R-Number: R-9999
"FrostMurderâą R-9999: Chill Like Thereâs No Tomorrow."
The structure (CClFâ(CFâ)â) is plausible. Variants of chlorinated and perfluorinated alkanes exist in industrial chemistryâe.g., CFCs, HFCs, and perfluoromethanes.
Synthesis would involve:
Fluorination of chloroalkanes using cobalt trifluoride, antimony pentafluoride, or electrochemical fluorination (ECF) Ă la the old school 3M method.
Reactivity and safety hurdles are hugeâperfluorinated compounds require PTFE-lined reactors and strict controls to prevent side reactions, fires, or worse.
