What is the primary advantage of the -36.85°C melting point of [C₂MIm] SOE for low-temperature electrochemical research?
The -36.85 °C melting point ensures fluidity and stable ionic conductivity in sub-zero electrochemical cells, preventing solidification that can disrupt battery or supercapacitor testing. This property is explicitly specified for LDIM‑208 and supports reliable operation across a wide thermal range without phase separation.
Can [C₂MIm] SOE be used as an electrolyte or co‑solvent in aqueous‑phase catalytic systems?
Yes, [C₂MIm] SOE is inherently compatible with aqueous workflows because the product profile confirms it is water‑soluble. Its imidazolium ethylsulfate structure (C₆H₁₁N₂·C₂H₅SO₄) provides a stable dissolution matrix for ionic‑liquid‑enhanced aqueous catalysis, electrolyte doping, and biphasic separations.
What storage and handling precautions are required for research‑grade [C₂MIm] SOE?
Store this research‑grade ionic liquid in a sealed, inert container under dry conditions to prevent moisture uptake, as its high water solubility (explicitly stated in the specification) makes it hygroscopic. The low melting point of -36.85 °C allows ambient‑temperature storage, but standard chemical hygiene and PPE are mandatory for all laboratory handling.
This research-grade ionic liquid, [C2MIm]SOE, offers a very low melting point of -36.85°C, ensuring fluidity across a wide thermal range, and is fully water-soluble for stable aqueous ionic workflows. It is restricted to laboratory research use only, with compliance liability assumed by the buyer.
Positive
- Low-Temperature Fluidity: With a melting point of -36.85°C, the compound remains liquid across a wide thermal range, enabling consistent performance in low-temperature operations.
- Aqueous Dissolution: High solubility in water provides stable performance matrices for solution-based ionic workflows, simplifying formulation in aqueous systems.
Trade-offs
- Restricted to Laboratory Research: Sold exclusively for laboratory research; prohibited for commercial, diagnostic, or human/animal applications, limiting its deployment to investigational settings.
- Buyer Compliance Liability: Atomfair LLC disclaims liability; the buyer assumes all compliance responsibility for lawful use under applicable regulations, requiring due diligence in handling and disposal.
