Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate

Tetraethylammonium Fluoride Dihydrate is a salt that has a high solubility in water and can be used as an antifreeze. It is not soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, ether, or benzene. Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 298.8 g/mol. The uptake of tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate by cellulose is due to hydrogen bonding interactions between the hydrated tetraethylammonium ion and the cellulose anion. Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate has been shown to react with hydrogen peroxide to produce hydrogen gas and tetrafluoromethane (CF4) at room temperature. Tetraethylammonium fluoride dihydrate also has a significant vapor pressure at room temperature, which makes it useful for its ability to absorb moisture from the air.
