Triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) is an organoaluminum compound characterized by its formula (C4H9)3Al. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its high reactivity, particularly with moisture and air, which can lead to the release of flammable gases. TIBA is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in polymerization processes, especially in the production of polyolefins. Its structure consists of three isobutyl groups attached to a central aluminum atom, which contributes to its steric bulk and unique reactivity profile. TIBA is also utilized in the preparation of various aluminum-based compounds and as a reducing agent in chemical reactions. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, typically under inert atmospheres, to prevent unwanted reactions. Safety precautions are essential when working with TIBA, as it can pose hazards such as flammability and toxicity.
