1,2-Dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane is a volatile liquid chlorofluoroalkane composed of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine and fluorine, and with structural formula CClF2CHClF. It is also known as a refrigerant with the designation R-123a.Kubota H. Yamashita T. Tanaka Y. Makita T.

Formation
1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane can be biotransformed in sewage sludge to 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane.Christian Balsiger David Werner Christof Holliger Patrick Höhener Reductive dechlorination of CFCs and HCFCs under methanogenic conditions https://kobo.ch/balsiger/cv/publications/battelle/cfcs.pdf 15 July 2020 10 January 2005 15 July 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200715184538/https://kobo.ch/balsiger/cv/publications/battelle/cfcs.pdf dead
It can be made from the reaction of tetrachloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride as a byproduct of HCFC-123 synthesis.Banks, R.E.; Smart, B.E.; Tatlow, J.C. (1994).

Properties
The critical temperature of R-123a is 461.6 K.Goodwin A. R. H. Michael Moldover Moldover M. R. Thermophysical properties of gaseous refrigerants from speed-of-sound measurements. III. Results for 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (CHCl2-CF3) and 1,2-dichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CHClF-CClF2) The Journal of Chemical Physics October 1991 95 7 5236–5242 10.1063/1.461831 1991JChPh..95.5236G The rotation of the molecule appears to be hindered by the present of chlorine on each carbon atom, but is eased at higher temperatures.
Use
Although not deliberately used, R-123a is a significant impurity in its isomer, the widely used 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-123).
