Hexafluorobenzene C₆F₆ CAS NO.392-56-3

Hexafluorobenzene CAS No392-56-3

Hexafluorobenzene, HFB, C6F6, or perfluorobenzene is an organic, aromatic compound. In this derivative of benzene all hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine atoms. The technical uses of the compound are limited, although it is recommended as a solvent in a number of photochemical reactions. In the laboratory hexafluorobenzene is used as standard in fluorine-19 NMR spectroscopy, solvent and standard in carbon-13 NMR, solvent in proton NMR, solvent when studying some parts in the infrared and solvent in ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, as hexafluorobenzene itself hardly shows any absorbance in the UV region.

Application

In photochemical reactions, hexafluorobenzene is employed as a solvent. Additionally, it serves as a reference compound for carbon-13 and fluorine-19 NMR. It functions as a solvent in UV, IR, and proton NMR spectra. It has anti-tumor, anti-corrosive, and anti-friction properties. Additionally, it serves as a reference molecule for in vivo research on tissue oxygenation. It combines with naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and triphenylene to generate a number of 1:1 complexes.
