Many of the freons (e.g. CFC-113) are liquids at room temperature. For nomenclature see here:

scroll down to 12.3.

They are usually made the usual ways via halogen exchange, superacids such as HF(anh):SbF5 (Nasty and not very doable at home--very mad science), and free radical chlorination. Or...something fun like Uranium Hexafluoride:
