Description

2,2′-Tellurobispropane (Diisopropyltelluride) is a high-purity organotellurium compound with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄Te and CAS number 51112-72-2. This specialized chemical, also known by its IUPAC name 2-propan-2-yltellanylpropane, is a valuable reagent for advanced synthetic and materials science applications. The compound features a tellurium center flanked by two isopropyl groups, offering unique reactivity in organometallic transformations.

Our product is synthesized under rigorously controlled conditions to ensure exceptional purity (>95%) and is available in sealed ampules or under inert gas to prevent oxidation. It is particularly useful as a precursor for tellurium-containing nanomaterials, semiconductor dopants, and as a ligand in transition metal catalysis. Researchers will appreciate the compound’s role in the synthesis of quantum dots, thermoelectric materials, and chalcogenide frameworks.

Handling requires standard air-sensitive techniques due to potential tellurium oxidation. SDS and technical data are provided with each shipment. Custom purity grades and analytical certificates (GC-MS, NMR) are available upon request for critical applications.
