Description
N-Butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, also commonly referred to as 1-Butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, is an ionic liquid with the CAS number 203389-28-0. This compound consists of an N-butylpyridinium cation and a tetrafluoroborate (BF4−) anion. It is characterized by its low volatility, high thermal stability, and good electrochemical stability. Typically appearing as a clear colorless to yellow or light orange/green liquid at room temperature, it possesses good solvation properties for various polar and ionic solutes. Its non-hygroscopic nature (resistance to moisture absorption) is an added benefit in many applications. These features make N-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate a versatile compound in electrochemistry, organic synthesis, and materials science.
