Product Name – Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate, REacton™, 99.5% (REO) Quantity/Pack Size – 500g, 100g, 10g Form – Orange-red crystalline powder Grade – REO 99.5% Application – Oxidizing agent, redox titrations, organic synthesis
Product Overview
Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) from REacton™ is a high-purity (99.5% REO) oxidizing agent widely used in laboratory settings for its strong oxidative properties. This orange-red crystalline powder is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it ideal for redox reactions, titrations, and organic synthesis. Its stability and consistent performance ensure reliable results in demanding applications. The compound is particularly valued for its ability to oxidize alcohols, phenols, and amines under mild conditions. Due to its hygroscopic nature, proper storage in a tightly sealed container is recommended to maintain its potency. Whether used in analytical chemistry or preparative organic synthesis, this reagent delivers precision and reproducibility, making it a staple in research and academic laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate?
When stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container, Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate maintains its stability for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this compound compatible with non-polar solvents?
Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate is primarily soluble in water and polar organic solvents like methanol and acetonitrile. Its solubility in non-polar solvents is limited.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for other cerium-based oxidants?
Yes, it can replace other cerium(IV) salts like cerium(IV) sulfate in many applications, though reaction conditions may need adjustment.
4. How should I handle spills of this compound?
Neutralize spills with a reducing agent like sodium bisulfite, then collect and dispose of according to local hazardous waste regulations.
5. Does this product require special storage conditions?
Store in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and incompatible materials like strong reducing agents.
