Are there any fluorocarbon oils with a refractive index greater than 1.3?

Hello fellow researchers!

I am trying to find a fluorocarbon oil that has a refractive index same as or greater than that of water (1.33). The closest one I can find so far is 1.3 (FC-170).

Dear Senthilkumar Duraivel , Vitreon (perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene) has RI = 1.335 (close to water) and is both non-toxic and non-volatile, according to a work of Georgalas et al. 2011 reported in the review by Wright et al:

Article A review of solid–fluid selection options for optical-based ...

In addition, some perfluoropolyehters could also reach refractive indexes close or higher than water.

Hope it helps
