General description

Hexafluorobenzene was repoted to be a sensitive 19F NMR indicator of tumor oxygenation. Rotational Raman spectra of hexafluorobenzenehas been studied under high resolution using a single mode argon laser as the exciting source. Hexafluorobenzene 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. Hexafluorobenzene forms series of 1:1 complexes with naphthalene, anthracene,phenanthrene, pyrene and triphenylene.

Application

Hexafluorobenzene can be used as a standard in 19Fluorine NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy and also as a solvent in 13Carbon and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

We have surveyed the sensitivity of the spin lattice relaxation rates of the 19F resonances of several perfluorocarbons to changes in oxygen tension and temperature. Hexafluorobenzene was found to exhibit exceptional sensitivity to changes in oxygen tension, and we have
