Could hypothetical cells use liquid Carbon Tetraflouride as an alternative solvent to water?

Setting aside how this might evolve or come to be, could a cell use liquid carbon tetraflouride(CF4 becomes liquid below -130 Celcius) as a solvent instead of water? Assume that the cells work perfectly fine at this temperature.
