Description

Diborane-D 6 CAS NO 20396-66-1 is a deuterated isotopologue of diborane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This compound is a critical reagent in advanced materials science and semiconductor research, offering unique isotopic labeling properties for mechanistic studies and doping processes. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the electronics, nuclear, and specialty chemical sectors who require precise control over isotopic composition in thin-film deposition and synthesis.

Application

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): As a key boron source for depositing boron-containing thin films, such as boron nitride (BN), in semiconductor and electronic device fabrication.
• Isotopic Labeling Studies: Used as a deuterium-labeled precursor in mechanistic research and spectroscopic analysis (e.g., NMR) within academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
• Nuclear Industry: Employed in specialized applications involving neutron moderation and detection due to the properties of the deuterium isotope.
• Synthesis of Deuterated Compounds: Acts as a deuterium and boron source for synthesizing other deuterium-labeled organoboranes and inorganic materials.
• Doping Agent: Utilized in the precise doping of silicon and other semiconductor materials to modify electrical properties.
• Catalysis Research: Serves as a model compound in studies of hydroboration and other boron-hydrogen chemistry under isotopically pure conditions.

Quality Control

Our Diborane-D 6 is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR and Mass Spectrometry, to verify deuterium enrichment and confirm the absence of protic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, assay, and gas composition is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially designed cylinder or container, protected from light and stored in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, the container must be kept securely valve-closed at room temperature (15-25°C) away from ignition sources and incompatible materials. Store under an inert atmosphere as supplied.
