ABSTRACT
Teflon surfaces exhibiting self-adaptive behaviour with both highly hydrophilic character and strong coordinating properties are prepared in a straightforward manner by physisorption of the fluorophilic copper(II)-carboxylate complex 2.

The fluorous copper(II)-carboxylate complexes 1 and 2 are readily chemisorbed on SiO(2) surfaces affording super-hydrophilic binding layers for subsequent versatile functionalization by coordination chemistry.
ABSTRACT
The very fast and efficient water vapor absorption of the dimeric fluorous copper(II)-carboxylate complex [Cu(2)(C(8)F(17)CO(2))(4)(acetone)(2)] (1) leads, in the solid state, to a dramatic decrease of the exchange magnetic coupling between the copper(II) ions and to a drastic change of its powder EPR spectrum.
