355-42-0 | Tetradecafluorohexane

CAS:355-42-0 | Tetradecafluorohexane ,Description

Perfluorohexane is a fluoroalkane that is hexane in which all of the hydrogens have been replaced by fluorines. It has a role as a radioopaque medium and a non-polar solvent. It is a fluorocarbon, a fluoroalkane and a volatile organic compound. It derives from a hydride of a hexane.
Perflexane is a fluorinated hydrocarbon and gaseous substance used as an imaging contrast agent in echocardiogram. After administration in microsphere form, perflexane increases ultrasound reflectivity of blood. This leads to an improvement of ultrasound signaling.
Perflexane is a Contrast Agent for Ultrasound Imaging. The mechanism of action of perflexane is as an Ultrasound Contrast Activity.

Scientific Research Applications

• Enhancing Oxygen Activity in Li–O2 Batteries
  Tetradecafluorohexane, as part of perfluorocarbons (PFCs), has been investigated for its potential in enhancing the performance of lithium-oxygen (Li–O2) batteries. A study found that a gamma fluorinated ether, related to tetradecafluorohexane, could be mixed with a common solvent in Li–O2 cells, resulting in significantly higher oxygen solubility and diffusibility. This enhancement could lead to a notable increase in discharge capacity, especially at higher discharge rates (Wijaya et al., 2015) .
• Applications in Fluorinating Reagents
  Tetrafluoroethane β-sultone, a derivative related to tetradecafluorohexane, has shown versatility in creating a range of fluorinating reagents. These reagents have applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science, with effective incorporation in various chemical bonds and significant roles in the synthesis of drug candidates and novel functional materials (Zhang et al., 2014).
