About 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, puriss, 98%

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 174501-65-6) is an ionic liquid offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Puriss grade, specified at ≥98% purity. Its molecular formula is C8H15BF4N2 and its molecular weight is 226.03 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate. Common synonyms include Bmim tetrafluoroborate and Butylmethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate.

In its supplied form it is a colourless to light yellow liquid. Reported physical data include a density of 1.21 g/mL at 20 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span green reaction media, electrochemistry, extraction and separation and catalysis. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research and batteries and energy storage.

Standard pack sizes are 5 g, 25 g, 100 g and 1 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
