Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate(CAS: 3109-63-5)

Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAP) is a derivative of hexafluorophosphate and tetrabutylammonium. It is a colorless or slightly yellow liquid with a high melting point and a pungent odor. The chemical formula is (C4H9)4NPF6.

Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAP) is primarily used as a Lewis acid in organic synthesis, particularly in as a deprotonating agent and as an electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. It is also used in electrochemistry, solid-state chemistry, and as a reagent in the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds.

Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAP) is considered safe when handled with proper precautions. It is not highly toxic, but prolonged exposure to the fumes or direct contact with skin or eyes can cause irritation. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and ignition sources. Personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling.

Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAP) should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C), away from heat, moisture, and ignition sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent evaporation and exposure to air. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or humid environments. Containers should be inspected regularly for any signs of leakage.
