CAS 951020-87-4

The chemical substance known as (OEt)2Im-PF6, with the CAS number 951020-87-4, is a type of ionic liquid that features a bis(ethyl)imidazolium cation paired with a hexafluorophosphate anion (PF6^-). This compound is characterized by its low volatility, high thermal stability, and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic materials, making it useful in various applications such as catalysis, electrochemistry, and as a solvent in chemical reactions. The presence of the ethyl groups enhances its solubility and reduces viscosity compared to other ionic liquids. Additionally, the hexafluorophosphate anion contributes to its ionic conductivity, which is beneficial for applications in batteries and fuel cells. The unique properties of (OEt)2Im-PF6 make it an attractive candidate for research in green chemistry and sustainable processes, as it can often replace traditional organic solvents that are more hazardous and environmentally damaging.
