Ionic liquids (ILs) represent a fascinating class of chemical compounds, fundamentally defined as salts that are liquid at or below 100°C. Their unique combination of properties – such as negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability, wide electrochemical window, and tunable solvency – makes them invaluable in diverse industrial and research applications. Among the most studied and widely used ILs is 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate (often abbreviated as [HMIM][BF4]), CAS 244193-50-8.

As a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals in China, our expertise lies in producing high-quality ionic liquids like 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate. Chemically, it consists of a 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion. This specific combination of ions imparts remarkable properties. The imidazolium cation provides stability and can interact favorably with various substrates, while the tetrafluoroborate anion contributes to its low viscosity and good ionic conductivity, crucial for electrochemical applications.

The molecular formula is C10H19BF4N2, with a molecular weight of 254.08 g/mol. Its physical appearance is typically a colorless to light yellow liquid, with a low melting point of around -81°C, confirming its classification as an ionic liquid. These characteristics make it an excellent candidate for use as a solvent in green chemistry, a supporting electrolyte in electrochemical devices like batteries and supercapacitors, and as a medium for various catalytic reactions.
