FAQs
1. What is the moisture content in this anhydrous aluminium chloride powder?
The product is rigorously dried to maintain anhydrous conditions, with moisture content typically below 0.1% as verified by Karl Fischer titration.
2. Can this be used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis?
Yes, the 99.999% purity and anhydrous nature make it highly effective as a Lewis acid catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions and other organic transformations.
3. How does the trace metal basis specification affect performance?
The trace metal basis specification ensures that impurities like iron, copper, and nickel are reduced to parts-per-million levels, preventing catalytic interference in sensitive reactions.
4. What is the recommended storage condition to maintain purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (argon/nitrogen) in a desiccator to prevent hydrolysis and moisture absorption.
5. Is this compatible with standard glass laboratory ware?
While compatible, prolonged contact with glass may cause etching; PTFE or polypropylene containers are recommended for long-term storage of solutions.
