Description

Potassium Dodecafluoro-Closo-Dodecarborate is an inorganic salt featuring a highly stable, cage-like dodecaborate anion fully substituted with fluorine atoms. This compound matters for its unique combination of thermal stability, chemical inertness, and the ability to act as a source of both potassium and fluorine within specialized materials. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of advanced materials science, particularly for the development of novel electrolytes, high-performance polymers, and specialized ceramic precursors.

Application

• As a key precursor or additive in the synthesis of advanced ionic liquids and solid-state electrolytes for battery technologies.
• Incorporation into high-temperature polymers and coatings to enhance thermal stability and chemical resistance.
• As a fluorinating agent or fluorine source in the preparation of specialty inorganic and organometallic compounds.
• Use in research for developing neutron capture therapy agents or boron-based pharmaceuticals, leveraging the boron cluster structure.
• As a dopant or modifying agent in the production of specialty glasses and ceramics with tailored properties.
• Potential use as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and materials characterization.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Dodecafluoro-Closo-Dodecarborate is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistent composition, typically including assay by titration or ICP, identification by FT-IR, and impurity profiling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen in a desiccator. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
