A new, easily scalable reactor for trifluoromethylation of carbon-rich thermally stable substrates has been designed, built, and tested in this work. This reactor can withstand temperatures up to 520 °C and pressures up to 10⁶ Torr (20,000 psi). Several proof-of-concept experiments with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fullerenes were performed and the results: product distributions, percent conversion of the starting material to useful products, etc., were compared to other synthetic methods. The results of the trifluoromethylation of fullerenes, C₆₀ and C₇₀, were shown to produce predominantly thermodynamically stable compounds, S₆-C₆₀(CF₃)₁₂, C₁-C₇₀(CF₃)₁₀, and C_s-C₇₀(CF₃)₈, and thus the new reactor can be considered a viable, safe, and economical tool to target the production of these compounds.

在这项工作中，已经设计，建造和测试了一种新的，易于扩展的反应器，该反应器用于富碳热稳定基材的三氟甲基化。该反应器可承受高达520°C的温度和高达10 ⁶ 托（20,000 psi）的压力。进行了多环芳烃和富勒烯的几个概念验证实验，并将结果：产物分布，起始原料转化为有用产物的百分比等与其他合成方法进行了比较。富勒烯C ₆₀和C ₇₀的三氟甲基化结果表明，主要生成热力学稳定的化合物S ₆ -C ₆₀（CF ₃）₁₂，C ₁ -C ₇₀（CF ₃）₁₀和C _s -C ₇₀（CF ₃）₈，因此可以认为新反应器是针对这些化合物生产的可行，安全和经济的工具。
