UsageTrifluoroacetic acid (TFA, molecular formula: CF3COOH) is a kind of colorless, volatile and fuming liquid with a similar odor as acetic acid. It is hygroscopic and has irritating odor. It has strong acidic property due to being affected by the electron-attracting trifluoromethyl group with its acidicity being 100000 higher than acetic acid. It has a melting point being-15.2 , boiling point being 72.4 , and the density being 1.5351g/cm3 (1). It is miscible with water, fluorinated hydrocarbons, methanol, ethanol, ethyl ether, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and hexane; it is partially soluble in carbon disulfide and alkane containing more than six carbons. It is an excellent solvent of protein and polyester.
