Description

Cesiummercaptododecaborate, Natural abundance is an inorganic cesium salt of the mercaptododecaborate anion, a key compound in boron cluster chemistry. Its unique structure, featuring a stable icosahedral borane cage with a terminal thiol group, makes it a valuable precursor for advanced materials and radiopharmaceutical research. This high-purity material is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of neutron capture therapy, materials science, and catalysis who require reliable, well-characterized boron cluster compounds.

Application

• Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT): Serves as a critical precursor for synthesizing tumor-targeting boronated compounds due to its high boron content and modifiable thiol functionality.
• Materials Science: Used in the development of novel polymers, liquid crystals, and electro-optical materials where the stable, anionic boron cluster acts as a building block or dopant.
• Catalysis Research: Acts as a ligand or catalyst component in transition metal chemistry, leveraging the electron-donating properties of the mercapto-borane cluster.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a versatile intermediate for creating functionalized derivatives of dodecaborate clusters for various specialized applications.
• Radiopharmaceuticals: Utilized in research for developing diagnostic and therapeutic agents, where the cesium ion can be exchanged for radioactive isotopes.

Quality Control

Our Cesiummercaptododecaborate is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and relevant physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a desiccator for long-term storage to prevent decomposition.
