Description
N,N-dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (CAS: 118612-00-3) is a highly specialized organoboron compound with the molecular formula C32H12BF20N. This crystalline salt is widely recognized in advanced chemical research and industrial applications due to its strong Lewis acid characteristics and exceptional thermal stability. Its unique structure, featuring a tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion paired with a dimethylanilinium cation, makes it a valuable catalyst or co-catalyst in polymerization reactions, particularly in olefin and metallocene-based systems. The compound’s electron-withdrawing pentafluorophenyl groups enhance its reactivity, while its air- and moisture-sensitive nature requires careful handling under inert conditions. Supplied as a high-purity solid, it is ideal for fine chemical synthesis, materials science, and coordination chemistry studies.

This compound serves as a potent activator in metallocene-catalyzed polymerization, enabling precise control over polymer microstructure. It is also employed in organic synthesis as a weakly coordinating anion (WCA) for stabilizing highly reactive cationic intermediates. Additionally, researchers utilize it in electrochemical applications due to its non-nucleophilic borate anion properties.
