Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate(CAS: 63123-01-3)

Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate (CAS: 63123-01-3) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 214.23 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and less soluble in organic solvents. Chemically, it is highly reactive, especially towards bases, and is used in various analytical and synthesis applications due to its fluoride ion content.

Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate is typically synthesized by reacting tetraethylammonium fluoride with water. The reaction involves the dehydration of tetraethylammonium fluoride to form the dihydrate form. The process often requires the use of a mild dehydrating agent and careful control of reaction conditions to achieve high yield and purity.

Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate (CAS: 63123-01-3) is used in various industries including pharmaceuticals for ion exchange and drug development, semiconductor manufacturing for etching and cleaning processes, and polymers for specific applications requiring fluoride ion introduction.

When handling Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate (CAS: 63123-01-3), appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be worn. It should be handled in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood due to its reactivity. In case of spill, it should be cleaned up with absorbent material and disposed of according to chemical waste regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and storage instructions.
