Lithium tetrachloroaluminate(1-)(CAS: 14024-11-4)

Lithium tetrachloroaluminate(1-) (CAS: 14024-11-4) is a solid compound with the chemical formula [LiAlCl4]. It is highly soluble in organic solvents and exhibits strong Lewis acid properties due to the presence of AlCl4- ions.

Lithium tetrachloroaluminate(1-) is primarily used in the synthesis of organic compounds, as a catalyst in the polymerization of vinyl monomers, and in the production of lithium-based aluminosilicate ceramics. It also finds applications in the preparation of other lithium compounds and as a reagent in various chemical reactions.

Lithium tetrachloroaluminate(1-) (CAS: 14024-11-4) is generally considered safe when handled with appropriate precautions. However, it is a strong Lewis acid and can cause skin and eye irritation. It is important to use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when working with this compound.

Lithium tetrachloroaluminate(1-) (CAS: 14024-11-4) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It must be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The storage area should have good ventilation to avoid the accumulation of flammable gases.
