CAS 12026-05-0: rubidium hydroxide hydrate

Oxidative chlorination catalyst.Rubidium hydroxide hydrate is used in fireworks in place of pure rubidium to get violet color, thereby it prevents the waste of expensive element rubidium. It acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of other rubidium compounds. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Rubidium hydroxide hydrate, fused solid (99.8%-Rb)

Rubidium hydroxide hydrate is a chemical substance that belongs to the group of metal hydroxides. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. Rubidium hydroxide hydrate has been used as a catalyst for the production of polyethylene terephthalate and for the synthesis of β-unsaturated ketones. It can also be used as a reagent in organic synthesis due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Rubidium hydroxide hydrate can be used as an oxidizing agent, as well as being able to reduce many metallic ions such as aluminium, molybdenum, and iron. The pH value of this compound is neutral at 7.
