Description

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.

Application

Tetradecafluorohexane has been used:

• as a fluorocarbon organic solvent in the preparation of temperature-induced phase-separation solution
• to investigate boiling heat transfer mechanisms
• as a photosensitizer in fluorous biphasic singlet oxygenation
• as a novel reaction medium for photooxidation reactions
