1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate

Product Overview

1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is a specialized ionic liquid belonging to the imidazolium salt family. This compound is characterized by its unique combination of a long alkyl chain and a stable hexafluorophosphate anion, making it highly valuable in various chemical processes. As a room temperature ionic liquid or low-melting solid, it offers exceptional thermal stability and low volatility, which are critical features for modern green chemistry applications.

Our manufacturing process ensures that each batch meets stringent quality standards suitable for both laboratory research and large-scale industrial implementation. The presence of the dodecyl chain imparts significant hydrophobicity, allowing this material to function effectively in biphasic systems and extraction processes where traditional solvents may fail.
