Product: Tetramethylphosphonium Bisulfate ([(CH₃)₄P]⁺[HSO₄]⁻)
CAS No.:22818-40-2
Hazard Class:8 (Corrosive)
UN No.: 3261 (Corrosive solid, acidic, organic)
Appearance:White crystalline solid
Description:Tetramethylphosphonium bisulfate is synthesized through quaternization of phosphine with dimethyl sulfate followed by ion exchange, serving as a specialty phase-transfer catalyst and ionic liquid precursor. Its unique properties include:
High thermal stability (decomposes >300°C)
Low viscosity in molten state (compared to ammonium analogs)
Applications:
Polymerization catalyst for epoxy resins
Electrolyte additive for lithium-ion batteries
Intermediate for phosphonium-based ionic liquids
