On the miscibility of ethers and perfluorocarbons

Different Modes of Anion Response Cause Circulatory Phase Transfer of a Coordination Cage with Controlled Directionality

“…To construct as ystem composed of three mutually immiscible solvents,f luorous solvents were investigated as one of the solvent phases,s ince they are known to be immiscible with both water and many organic solvents. [15] Although most nonfluorinated organic molecules are known not to dissolve in fluorous solvents,wefound that asubstituted tetraphenylborate bearing C 6 F 13 chains (BAr f6 À , [16] Figure 3a) imparted enough fluorous character [17] (59 %fluorine content by weight) to render 2 preferentially soluble in fluorous solvents,e ven though the cage cation contains no fluorine. Counterion exchange of 2 from NTf 2 À to BAr f6 À thus solubilized 2 in fluorous solvents such as perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PFMC,S upporting Information Section S6), perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane,a nd perfluorohexane.N otably,t his is the first example of ac oordination cage that is soluble in fluorous solvents;w ea nticipate that the use of BAr f6 À could provide ag eneral strategy to solubilize other cationic cages in fluorous phases.…”

Micron-sized PFOB liquid core droplets stabilized with tailored-made perfluorinated surfactants as a new class of endovascular sono-sensitizers for focused ultrasound thermotherapy

“…To do so, we used a ternary system made of a mixture of methanol and diethyl ether, the latter being used to ensure complete solubilisation of PFOB in the solution. 56 The concentration of PFOB in the emulsion was thus estimated to be 11.6 ± 0.9 %, which indicated a loss of about 15%…”

Size reduction of cosolvent-infused microbubbles to form acoustically responsive monodisperse perfluorocarbon nanodroplets

“…The effect of varying flow rates (Q c and Q d ) on the initial diameter (D i ) of the DEE-infused C 5 F 12 precursor bubbles was evaluated (Fig. (34.6°C), its complete miscibility with the dispersed phases of C 5 F 12 or C 6 F 14 at 7 and 14°C, respectively, 12,23 and its limited solubility with the aqueous continuous phase (i.e., 9 vol% at room temperature), which permit its controlled dissolution from the generated bubble. To maximize the size reduction due to DEE dissolution from the precursor bubble, the bubbles were generated using low concentrations of C 5 F 12 (i.e., volume fractions of ϕ C 5 F 12 = 0.015 and ϕ DEE = 0.985).…”
