Bromotrifluoroethylene (BTFE) is a halogenated ethylene derivative with the chemical formula F2CCBrF.
It is a highly flammable colourless gas with a musty odour resembling phosgene.
[5] Bromotrifluoroethylene forms metal complexes with substituted phosphine compounds and platinum(II).
[2] BTFE telomers are oily liquids sold under the tradename BFC oil.
The telomers can be prepared with fluorotrichloromethane or tetrachloromethane as telogens.
