Description

n-Octyl-4-Methylpyridinium Bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide is a hydrophobic ionic liquid belonging to the pyridinium cation family paired with the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NTf₂) anion. This compound matters for its unique combination of properties, including high thermal stability, low viscosity, and excellent electrochemical window, making it a valuable non-aqueous medium. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of electrochemistry, catalysis, and advanced material synthesis where tailored solvent properties are critical.

Application

• Electrolyte Component for lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and other energy storage devices.
• Green Solvent Medium for organic synthesis and catalytic reactions, including biphasic systems.
• Separation Science as a stationary phase modifier in gas chromatography (GC) or extraction processes.
• Lubricant & Additive for advanced engineering applications requiring thermal and chemical stability.
• Material Science in the synthesis of functional polymers, gels, and ion-conductive membranes.
• Analytical Chemistry as a matrix or solvent for mass spectrometry (MS) and other instrumental techniques.

Quality Control

Our ionic liquid products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for purity and performance. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to confirm identity and quantify impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, water content, halide content, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider handling under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize moisture uptake.
