Tetrabutyl ammonium chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystals, granules or powder

Uses

Substitute in solution for glass-calomel electrode systems, coagulant for silver iodide solutions, stereospecific catalyst.

Uses

Tetrabutylammonium Chloride is used in the preparation of polypyrrole coatings with self healing properties for iron corrosion.

Definition

ChEBI: An organic chloride salt comprising of a tetrabutylammonium cation and chloride anion.

General Description

This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the chloride from acetone by addition of diethyl ether. It is very hygroscopic and forms crystals with 34H2O. It is used in ion-paired chromatography (Sagara et al. J Chromatogr 328 289 1985). [Beilstein 4 IV 557.]
