Lithium 2-ethylhexanoate

Description:

Lithium 2-ethylhexanoate is a lithium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, characterized by its role as a lithium source in various chemical applications. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or powder and is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in polymerization processes. This compound is known for its ability to enhance the performance of certain materials, particularly in the production of lithium-based batteries and lubricants. Its chemical structure features a lithium ion coordinated with the 2-ethylhexanoate anion, which contributes to its unique properties, such as thermal stability and reactivity. Additionally, lithium 2-ethylhexanoate is utilized in the formulation of certain coatings and adhesives, where it can improve adhesion and durability. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in industrial or laboratory settings.
