Applications & Uses
Uses
Tetradecafluorohexane is used in the electronics industry as a coolant and test bath medium. Non-toxic, non-ozone-depleting, inert reaction medium.
Uses
Perfluorohexanes is used as a coolant, photosensitizer in fluorous biphasic singlet oxygenation and an inert reaction medium. It is used in the electronic cooling liquid and insulator. It plays a vital role as a reaction medium, especially for photooxidation reactions. Further, it finds application as an ultrasound contrast agent.
Uses
Tetradecafluorohexane has been used:as a fluorocarbon organic solvent in the preparation of temperature-induced phase-separation solutionto investigate boiling heat transfer mechanisms as a photosensitizer in fluorous biphasic singlet oxygenation as a novel reaction medium for photooxidation reactions
General Description
Tetradecafluorohexane in the gas phase reacts spontaneously with lithium amalgam, to give a solid and intimate mixture of lithium fluoride and elemental polymeric carbon with a small amount of superstoichiometric lithium.
