Abstract
The effect of fluorinated substitutional degree of fluorinated octanol on extraction behavior of benzoic acid is investigated through studying on frontier molecular orbital energy gaps. 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-1-octanol and 5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8-nonafluoro-1-octanol were selected as the exemplified fluorinated extractants. The calculated results show that 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-1-octanol has lower chemical reactivity to benzoic acid than that of 5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8-nonafluoro-1-octanol, owed to the inductive effect of fluorinated substitutional group, which withdraws the electrons away from the oxygen atom.
