CAS 60871-83-2: Magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate

Magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate is used as a component of the electrolyte, as lewis acid resulted in largely decreased and reversed enantioselectivities. 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.

Applications Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid Magnesium Salt is a strong acid that is used as a catalyst for esterification. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Howells, R. D., et al.: Chemical Rev., 77, 69 (1977);

Magnesium trifluoromethanesulphonate

Magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate is a chemical compound that has been shown to be an electrolyte and cationic surfactant. It has a chemical stability in the hydroxylic media, and has been shown to have a conductivity of about 5.5 mS/cm at 25°C. This compound also reacts with hydroxyl groups found in polymers, which may lead to the formation of ionic or polymer bonds, depending on the pH. Magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate can be used as an electrolyte or magnesium salt in the process of making magnesium-containing polymers. When used as an electrolyte, magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate can be used as a replacement for lithium salts (such as lithium hexafluoroarsenate) because it is soluble in non-aqueous solvents.
