[1] The compound consists of two pentafluoroethyl and one trifluoromethyl groups connected to nitrogen.

Perfluoroalkylamines are prepared by electrofluorination of the parent amine using hydrogen fluoride as solvent and source of fluorine.

This application exploits the high solubility of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the solvent, as well as the low viscosity and toxicity.

CPUs of some computers are immersed in this liquid to facilitate cooling.

[2] Perfluoroalkyl amines are generally of very low toxicity, so much that they have been evaluated as synthetic blood.
