“…In contrast to common chlorinated solvents, perfluorinated liquids are nontoxic, thermally and chemically inert, and they do not affect the ozone layer. − Given the high oxygen solubility and the lack of toxicity for humans, perfluorinated solvents can even be used in some circumstances as blood substitutes. , Also in sharp contrast to chlorinated liquids, perfluorinated hydrocarbons are very poor solvents for most organic compounds at room temperature. Their solubility, however, increases remarkably with the temperature, a phenomenon that has been reported as thermotropic solubility.…”
