Diboranylhafnium(CAS: 12007-23-7)

Diboranylhafnium (CAS: 12007-23-7) is a colorless solid with a crystalline form. Its molecular weight is approximately 231.42 g/mol. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but not in water. It is known for its high reactivity with halogens and Lewis acids.

Diboranylhafnium is typically synthesized through the reaction of hafnium(IV) tetrachloride with borane in a non-polar solvent like hexane. The process is carried out at low temperatures to achieve optimal selectivity and yield.

Diboranylhafnium is used in the synthesis of organometallic compounds and in catalytic applications. It finds applications in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of new drugs, in polymer science for catalysts, and in semiconductor technology for doping and etching processes.

When handling Diboranylhafnium, it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Handle the compound in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation. In case of spill, follow the emergency procedures outlined in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
