CAS 12014-56-1: Cerium hydroxide (Ce(OH)4), (T-4)-
Description:Cerium hydroxide, with the chemical formula Ce(OH)4 and CAS number 12014-56-1, is an inorganic compound that consists of cerium, a rare earth element, combined with hydroxide ions. It typically appears as a white or off-white solid and is known for its insolubility in water, which makes it useful in various applications. Cerium hydroxide exhibits amphoteric properties, meaning it can react with both acids and bases. This compound is often utilized in catalysis, particularly in the automotive industry for catalytic converters, and in the production of cerium-based polishing powders for glass and semiconductor materials. Additionally, cerium hydroxide has been studied for its potential applications in biomedical fields, including drug delivery and as an antioxidant due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. Its unique properties stem from the electronic structure of cerium, which allows it to exist in multiple oxidation states, enhancing its reactivity and versatility in chemical processes.
