Fluorocarbon
Fluorocarbons are chemical compounds that only contain fluorine and carbon. The terminology isn't strictly followed, many organic compounds are called fluorocarbons. Another name is Perfluorocarbon. Fluorocarbons belong to the group of hydrofluorocarbons. Fluorocarbons are commonly used in insulation, and as cooling agents, called refrigerants. Because they take a long time to decay, they are considered greenhouse gases.
Fluorocarbon Media
Immiscible layers of colored water (top) and much denser perfluoroheptane (bottom) in a beaker; a goldfish and crab cannot penetrate the boundary; coins rest at the bottom.
Carbon tetrafluoride, the simplest perfluoroalkane
Perfluorooctane, a linear perfluoroalkane
Perfluoro-2-methylpentane, a branched perfluoroalkane
Perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, a cyclic perfluoroalkane
Perfluorodecalin, a polycyclic perfluoroalkane
Perfluoroisobutene, a reactive and highly toxic fluoroalkene gas
Tetrafluoroethylene, an important perfluorinated monomer.
Hexafluoropropylene, another important perfluoroalkene.
