1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate CAS 304680-35-1

1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate

Description:

1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, commonly abbreviated as [HMIM][PF6], is a well-studied ionic liquid (IL) belonging to the imidazolium class. This organic salt is characterized by its liquid state at ambient temperatures, negligible vapor pressure, and high thermal stability. It possesses a unique combination of hydrophobicity (relative to other ionic liquids with different anions) and good electrochemical stability. These attributes make [HMIM][PF6] a valuable compound in diverse applications, including as a non-volatile solvent in organic synthesis and catalysis, an electrolyte in electrochemical devices, and a medium for extraction processes. The specific interaction between the 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and the hexafluorophosphate anion dictates its physical and chemical behavior, making it suitable for specialized industrial and research applications.
