1. Introduction of Perfluorohexane

Perfluorohexane (C6F14) or tetradecafluorohexane, is a fluorocarbon. It is a derivative of hexane in which all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. It is used in one formulation of the electronic cooling liquid/insulator Fluorinert for low temperature applications due to its low boiling point of 56°C and freezing point of -90 °C. It is odorless and colorless.

It is one of the Fluorinert brand solvents/coolants. It is used as a solvent and coolant. In medical imaging it is used as a contrast agent.

Perfluorohexane is considered biologically inert and chemically stable. Like other fluorocarbon based liquids, perfluorohexane dissolves gases including oxygen from the air to a higher concentration than is found in other liquids. This effect is due to the nature of the fluorine atom causing low intermolecular forces between perfluorohexane molecules, which allows "space" for gas molecules to partition into the liquid. Animals can be submerged in a bath of perfluorohexane without drowning, as there is sufficient oxygen available in the solvent to allow respiration to continue. This has led to the experimental use of perfluorohexane in treating burn victims, as their lungs can be filled with either perfluorohexane vapor or in extreme cases liquid perfluorohexane, allowing breathing to continue without the problems normally seen with pulmonary edema that sometimes occur when the inside of the lungs have been burnt e.g. by inhalation of hot smoke.
