About 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, ≥98.5%

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is an ionic liquid carrying the CAS registry number 174501-64-5 with a typical assay of 98.5%. The compound has the formula C8H15F6N2P, corresponding to a molecular weight of 284.18 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate. It is also known as BMIM hexafluorophosphate or Butylmethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate.

The material typically appears as a colourless to brown to yellow viscous liquid or liquid. Literature values give a density of 1.38 g/mL at 20 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for green reaction media, electrochemistry, extraction and separation and organic synthesis. It is used across academic and industrial research and batteries and energy storage.

Standard pack sizes are 5 g, 50 g and 5 x 1 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
