Hexafluoroethane is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formula C₂F₆. 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 hydrocarbon ethane.
