Product Overview
Ethylaluminium sesquichloride, 0.4M solution in hexane, is a highly reactive organoaluminium compound widely used in advanced chemical synthesis and catalytic processes. This AcroSeal® grade solution ensures maximum purity and stability, making it suitable for demanding laboratory applications. The 0.4M concentration in hexane provides an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of handling, reducing the risk of uncontrolled reactions. The solution is packaged under inert conditions to prevent oxidation and moisture contamination, ensuring long-term shelf stability. Its high Lewis acidity makes it particularly effective in polymerization reactions, Friedel-Crafts alkylations, and as a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta polymerization systems. The hexane solvent enhances solubility while maintaining the compound’s reactivity, allowing for precise control in experimental setups. This product is essential for researchers requiring consistent performance in sensitive chemical transformations.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of Ethylaluminium sesquichloride 0.4M in hexane?
The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in its original packaging under recommended conditions.
2. Is this solution compatible with glassware or should special containers be used?
While it can be used with standard glassware, prolonged exposure may cause etching. For long-term storage, consider using PTFE-lined containers.
3. What are the recommended storage conditions for this chemical?
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) at temperatures between 2-8°C, away from moisture and ignition sources.
4. Can this solution be diluted further for specific applications?
Yes, it can be diluted with anhydrous solvents like hexane or toluene, but this should be done under inert conditions to prevent hydrolysis.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound?
Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood with proper PPE including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. This compound is pyrophoric and reacts violently with water.
