measured. Table II.16 resumes the parameters for the different solvents studied along with<br />
the different enthalpic contributions.<br />
The calculated enthalpies of cavity formation are very similar for the different<br />
solvents within the uncertainty of the calculation. The results presented in Table II.16<br />
indicate that the differences observed in the enthalpies of solution reported in Table II.15<br />
are mainly caused by differences in the enthalpies of interaction. The interaction energy<br />
between oxygen <strong>and</strong> perfluoro-n-octane is significantly higher than the interaction energy<br />
between oxygen <strong>and</strong> substituted perfluoroalkanes.<br />
The study of the solubility of oxygen in linear fluorinated molecules presenting<br />
different degrees of substitution on the terminal CF3 groups seems to indicate that the<br />
solvation of oxygen is carried by the end groups of the perfluorocarbons <strong>and</strong> the existence<br />
of interactions between the oxygen <strong>and</strong> the CF3 group on the fluorinated molecules that is<br />
more than 2 kJ/mol higher than with other end groups.<br />
