Fluorinated compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, amines, andcyclic and heterocyclic fluorochemicals, are studied as solvents of oxygen, using for this purpose the paramagnetic relaxation induced by the presence of molecular oxygen onto the 13C nuclei of neighboring solvent molecules in the solution. Relaxation data are expressed by the variation rates qx of relaxation rates Tf] per mole fraction of dissolved oxygen. A general correlation is found between the solubility of oxygen (in mole fraction) and the relaxation coefficients q „the lower qx values being associated to the higher solubilities. This was accounted for by the existence of large cavities in the liquid for the bettersolvents, which can thus accommodate small gaseous molecules more easily, while simultaneously the magnetic dipolar interaction between oxygen and solvent nuclei is decreased. The sequence found for compounds of decreasing solubility, aliphatic> cyclic> aromatic, can be rationalized on the basis of cavities of decreasing size from one class of solvents to the other. The order of solubility seems to depend mainly upon the shape of solvent molecules and not upon the details of molecular structure, thus discarding the alternative assumption of specific fluorine-oxygen forces and of a possible charge-transfer complex. The higher relaxation coefficients obtained for some typical analogous hydrocarbons can be rationalized by using the same concepts.Compared to hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons have physical properties which seem to be exceptional in many respects. 1 It was indeed soon recognized that, apartfrom a superficial similarity arising from the carbon skeleton, the hydrocarbon and fluoro-carbon molecules do not offer more analogies in their physical and chemical properties than those existing between hydrocarbons and the compounds deriving from any of the other elements of the periodic table. Compounds of hydrogen form in fact a class by themselves due to the very unusual properties of hydrogen nuclei. The difference between the physical properties of hydrogenated and fluorinated liquids is emphasized by the very nonideal behavior of mixtures of hydro-and fluorocarbons. This was traced to the existence of quite different intermolecular dispersion forces as a result of large differences in the ionization potentials of hydro-anf fluorocarbons. Another difference lies in the importance of the details of molecular structure in ac-counting for the properties of hydrocarbons, while they appear to be unimportant parameters in the fluorinated species. Liquid fluorocarbons are t herefore much more representative of nonpolar nonassociated solvents.
