Product Information

• Name: Dimethylethoxysilane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dimethylethoxysilane is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of organosilicon compounds. It is an ether of dimethyldichlorosilane and ethanol. Dimethylethoxysilane has been shown to react with metal ions, such as iron, copper, nickel, and cobalt, forming metal chelates. These metal chelates are used in catalysis and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The hydroxyl groups on the silicon atom have been shown to bind to reactive particles such as carbon monoxide, which may be due to the hydrogen bonding between these two atoms. Dimethylethoxysilane has a melting point of 152° Celsius and a boiling point of 330° Celsius. It is stable at room temperature but decomposes when heated or exposed to light.
