Perfluorocyclopropane
Perfluorocyclopropane is a synthetic compound belonging to the family of perfluorocarbons (PFCs). It consists of a cyclopropane ring where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. This unique structure gives it distinct chemical properties, making it stable and non-flammable.
Due to its low toxicity and high stability, perfluorocyclopropane is used in various applications, including medical imaging and as a potential contrast agent in ultrasound procedures. Its ability to dissolve gases makes it useful in enhancing the performance of certain materials and in environmental studies related to greenhouse gases.
