The influence of trifluoromethyl groups on the miscibility of fluorinated alcohols with water: A molecular dynamics simulation study of 1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-ol in aqueous solution

1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-ol (TFIP) alcohol is used to study the influence of trifluoromethyl groups (CF3) on the physicochemical properties of fluorinated organic molecules. The difference in organization of hydration shell around the CF3 and CH3 groups helped in determining the trifluoromethanol and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluropropano-2-ol.
