1-Hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate CAS 374564-83-7

Product Name: 1-Hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate

CAS Number: 374564-83-71

Description

1-Hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is a functionalized ionic liquid (IL). It features a 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation, which includes a reactive hydroxyl (OH) group, paired with a tetrafluoroborate (BF4−​) anion. This combination typically results in a salt that is liquid at or near room temperature and possesses properties such as good thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and a distinct solvating environment. The hydroxyl group offers a site for further chemical modification, while the tetrafluoroborate anion is known for contributing to a wider electrochemical window in some applications compared to halide anions.
