Hexafluoroethane is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formulaC2F6. It is a non-flammable colorless odorless gas negligibly soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol. Its structure is F3C−CF3. It is an extremely potent and long-lived greenhouse gas. It is the perfluorocarbon counterpart to the hydrocarbonethane.
