Tetraphenylphosphonium bromide is a supporting electrolyte for the electroreduction of buckminsterfullerene. It is used to extract heavy metals from aqueous solution as ion-association complexes
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
Tetraphenylphosphonium bromide is a supporting electrolyte for the electroreduction of buckminsterfullerene. It is used to extract heavy metals from aqueous solution as ion-association complexes
Solubility
Soluble in water.
Notes
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. It is hygroscopic in nature. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions.
