something strange
Hexafluoroacetone + H2O2 -->
Hexa-Fluoro-Acetone-triPeroxide
HFAP + NaI --> HIAP
HIAP being dense, and unstable.
Assuming ideal conditions, how and could HIAP be made?
F. de Lalande and M. Prud'homme showed that a mixture of boric oxide and sodium chloride is decomposed in a stream of dry air or oxygen at a red heat
with the evolution of chlorine.

Unless my chemistry book is incorrect, or I am interpreting it wrong, iodine would not replace fluorine, because fuorine has an electronegativity of
4.0, and iodine has an electronegativity of 2.6.
This leaves the reaction stranded at: TFAP + NaI -> no reaction.

I'm no ochem expert, but it seems very unlikely that a (very strong) C-F bond would be attacked by iodine.

For iodination of the alpha carbons of acetone (propanone) I would proceed by acidic iodination of the acetone, i.e. mixing acetone with KI in H2SO4,
the latter mixture being in excess so to substitute all or most of the 6 alpha-hysrogens.
Theory guides, experiment decides.

I think the problem with replacing F with I is kinetic, not thermodynamic. F is a really really bad leaving group.
I fail to see the point of making the same compound heavier. Sure its more dense, but is that *energy* density or is it dead weight? Why not just
mix AP with lead powder for the same effect?

I doubt a perfluorated compound would even form a peroxide in the first place.
Ochem is anything but maths...
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.
