Product Name – Trimethylaluminium, 1.0M solution in heptane, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML, 800ML Form – Liquid (solution in heptane) Grade – Synthesis Grade Application – Organometallic synthesis, catalyst preparation

Product Overview

Trimethylaluminium (TMA), supplied as a 1.0M solution in heptane under the AcroSeal® brand, is a highly reactive organometallic compound essential for advanced chemical synthesis. The heptane solvent enhances stability while maintaining reactivity, making it ideal for moisture- and air-sensitive processes. Packaged in AcroSeal® bottles, this solution is protected from atmospheric exposure, ensuring consistent performance in pyrophoric reactions. The synthesis-grade purity minimizes impurities, critical for reproducible results in catalytic applications. Due to its extreme reactivity, TMA requires careful handling under inert conditions, with proper ventilation and protective gear. The 100ML and 800ML pack sizes cater to both small-scale experiments and bulk requirements, offering flexibility for diverse lab workflows. As a versatile methylating agent, this solution is widely used in polymerization, semiconductor fabrication, and organometallic chemistry, where precise stoichiometry is paramount.

FAQs

1. What precautions are needed when handling Trimethylaluminium 1.0M solution?

Always use inert gas (argon/nitrogen) environments, flame-resistant lab coats, and safety goggles. Avoid exposure to air or moisture, as it ignites spontaneously. Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers.

2. Is this solution compatible with glassware?

Yes, but ensure the glassware is thoroughly dried and purged with inert gas before use. Avoid plastic containers, as TMA may degrade certain polymers.

3. Can this replace trimethylaluminium in toluene for my application?

Heptane offers better stability for some reactions, but compatibility depends on your specific process. Consult your protocol or test small batches first.

4. How should I dispose of unused Trimethylaluminium solution?

Neutralize with isopropanol or a suitable alcohol under controlled conditions, following local hazardous waste regulations. Never discard untreated.

5. Why choose AcroSeal® packaging for this product?

AcroSeal® bottles feature airtight seals and septum caps, minimizing contamination risks during storage and dispensing, which is critical for pyrophoric reagents.
