fluorocarbon

any of a broad group of organic compounds analogous to hydrocarbons, in which all or most of the hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon have been replaced by fluorine; some types also contain chlorine, and these are called chlorofluorocarbons. The saturated aliphatic-type fluorocarbons comprise the series of refrigerants developed by Midgeley in the 1930s. Compare halocarbon.
