<p>Method of marking a hydrocarbon liquid includes adding to the liquid, a tracer compound of Formula I: wherein, each X is independently selected from a hydrogen, bromine, or fluorine atom, a partially or fully halogenated alkyl group, a linear, branched or cyclic C1-C20 alkyl group and a phenyl group substituted with one or more halogen atoms, an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group; each Y is independently selected from a bromine, or fluorine atom, a partially or fully halogenated alkyl group, a branched or cyclic C1-C9 alkyl group and a phenyl group substituted with at least one alkyl and/or a halogenated alkyl group; Z is selected from (i) a phenyl group substituted with one or more halogen atoms, an aliphatic or halogenated aliphatic group, (ii) a partially or fully halogenated alkyl group or (iii) a linear, branched or cyclic C1-C20 alkyl group provided that when each Y is a fluorine atom, Z is not a linear or branched C1-C20 alkyl group.</p> |
