Description

Dodecaborate(2-),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11-Undecahydro-12-Mercapto-, Sodium (1:2) is a specialized sodium salt of a mercapto-substituted dodecaborate cluster, a compound of significant interest in advanced materials and pharmaceutical research. Its unique polyhedral borane structure, functionalized with a thiol group, provides a versatile platform for chemical modification and targeted delivery applications. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), polymer cross-linking, and the synthesis of novel inorganic-organic hybrid materials.

Application

• Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT): Serves as a key precursor for developing tumor-targeting boron delivery agents due to its high boron content and modifiable thiol functionality.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a cross-linking agent or a functional monomer for creating novel polymers with enhanced thermal stability or specific electronic properties.
• Catalysis: Utilized in the preparation of supported metal catalysts, where the boron cluster acts as a robust and tunable ligand framework.
• Surface Modification: The thiol group enables covalent attachment to gold and other metal surfaces for creating self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with unique characteristics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for synthesizing complex boron-containing molecules and clusters for exploratory research.
• Electronics & Semiconductors: Investigated for use in doping processes or as a component in specialty coatings for electronic devices.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be sealed immediately after use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
