Nitromethane-d3(CAS: 13031-32-8)

Nitromethane-d3 is a stable, low-boiling solvent derived from nitromethane with three deuterium atoms replacing hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor and a molecular formula of CH3N2OD3. It is commonly used in NMR spectroscopy and as a reference compound in analytical chemistry.

Nitromethane-d3 is primarily used as a deuterium-labeled reference compound in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is also employed in the analysis of organic compounds, particularly in the field of analytical chemistry for accurate chemical structure determination.

Nitromethane-d3 is generally safe when handled properly. However, it is flammable and can be toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It is important to follow safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and working in a well-ventilated area.

Nitromethane-d3 should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a fume hood or well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to air and reduce the risk of combustion. Avoid contact with water and other moisture, as this can lead to degradation.
