title: The multi-vicinal fluoroalkane motif: an examination of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorohexane stereoisomers.
abstract: Three unique diastereoisomers of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorohexane have been prepared, compounds intermediate between hexane and perfluorohexane in their degree of fluorination, and they show very different conformational behaviour and physical properties.
