Recently, five-membered ring fluorides (c-C
5
Fs) have
been significantly desirable in green chlorofluorocarbon substitutes
due to their practically flexible application in various fields and
environmental friendliness. Detailed knowledge regarding different
substitution effects on their environmental properties and thermal
stability is very limited due to their high-cost experiments. Here,
comprehensive density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics
calculations were performed to explore the relative electrophilic
and nucleophilic reactivity and thermostability of c-C
5
F chemicals. The electronic properties induced by substitution effects
of c-C
5
Fs were first explored. The environmental friendliness
of c-C
5
Fs including 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluorocyclopentane
(F6A), 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-heptafluorocyclopentane (F7A), cis-1,1,2,2,3,3,4,5-octafluorocyclopentane
(F8A), 3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluorocyclopentene (F6E), 1,3,3,4,4,5,5-heptafluorocyclopentene
(F7E), octafluorocyclopentene (F8E), 1-chloro-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluorocyclopent-1-ene
(F6-1), and 1-chloro-2,3,3,4,4,5,5-heptafluorocyclopent-1-ene (F7-1)
was validly confirmed. Besides, their thermal stabilities at 600 K
temperature were concluded due to their flexible carbon skeletons,
where both in-plane stability and slight aromaticity of F6E were in
peculiar found to contribute substantially. We also would like to
stress the future application of F6-1 due to its significant out-plane
stability. This study may pave the way for the development of chlorofluorocarbon
substitutes.
