<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2094856, member: 33176&quot;]No offence taken.&nbsp; Originally I was just wondering what ColonialJohn had come up with to clean copper that was related to fluorocarbon technology.&nbsp; Fluorine can be a leaving group, but in the examples you gave, the other reagent was an organo-lithium or sodium hydride, a couple of chemicals I would hesitate to mess with outside of a properly equipped chem lab.&nbsp; These dudes are pyroforic (catch fire spontaneously in air) and require an inert atmosphere. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not to take up too much more space, but inert is in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp; We stopped calling the Inert Gases inert and now they are the Nobel Gases, however there have been few compounds made from them in over 50 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
