Description

Nitric Acid-D CAS NO 13587-52-5 is a deuterated isotopologue of nitric acid, where the hydrogen atom is replaced by deuterium. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring precise tracking of reaction pathways and mechanisms without altering the fundamental chemical behavior. It is an essential reagent for researchers and manufacturers in advanced analytical chemistry and materials science, particularly where standard nitric acid would interfere with spectroscopic or kinetic studies.

Application

• As a deuterated tracer in mechanistic studies of nitration and oxidation reactions.
• Internal standard or matrix modifier in Deuterium Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (²H-NMR) spectroscopy for quantitative analysis.
• Use in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds for pharmaceutical research and development.
• Etchant or cleaning agent in the production of specialized semiconductors and electronic components where hydrogen contamination must be minimized.
• Reagent in Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to differentiate vibrational modes involving hydrogen vs. deuterium.
• Precursor for generating deuterated nitrogen oxides in atmospheric and environmental research.

Quality Control

Our Nitric Acid-D is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch is analyzed to confirm deuterium content and the absence of protic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing specifications for assay, isotopic enrichment, and key impurities. We support compliance with relevant research and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as organic compounds, strong bases, and reducing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid and high volatility, containers must be kept upright and securely sealed. Recommended long-term storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
