Product Overview
Ammonium hexachloroiridate(IV) from Eqipped is an ultra-high-purity reagent with 99.994% metals basis purity and a guaranteed minimum 41% iridium content, making it one of the most refined iridium compounds available for laboratory use. This Premion® grade material undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate trace metal contaminants, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive applications. The compound exists as a deep red crystalline powder with excellent solubility in aqueous solutions, facilitating precise dosing in synthetic procedures. Its stable hexachloro structure provides controlled iridium release in catalytic systems while minimizing unwanted side reactions. The material is packaged under inert conditions to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, preserving its high purity during storage. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the exact iridium content and impurity profile. The compound’s high assay purity makes it particularly valuable for applications where iridium acts as a critical catalyst or where trace metal contamination could compromise experimental results. The available pack sizes (5g, 1g, 0.1g) allow researchers to select the appropriate quantity for their specific needs while maintaining cost efficiency for both small-scale and larger experiments.
FAQs
1. What is the exact iridium content in this ammonium hexachloroiridate(IV) product?
The product contains a minimum of 41% iridium by weight, with the actual content typically ranging between 41-43% as verified by our certificate of analysis for each batch.
2. How should this compound be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the unopened container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the container tightly sealed under inert gas if possible, as the compound is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air.
3. What is the typical particle size distribution of this crystalline powder?
The material generally presents as fine crystals with particle sizes predominantly in the 50-200 micron range, though some variation may occur between batches as noted in the certificate of analysis.
4. Can this product be used as a direct replacement for other iridium salts in existing protocols?
While chemically similar, the high purity of this Premion grade compound may require protocol adjustments due to its minimal impurity profile. We recommend small-scale testing before full implementation in established procedures.
5. What is the shelf life of this ammonium hexachloroiridate(IV) when stored properly?
When stored under recommended conditions in its original packaging, the product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture as indicated on the label.
