Cesium Fluoride, purity min. 99.9 % (70 % solution in water)
Cs-F
Cesium Fluoride, purity min. 99.9 % (70 % solution in water) (CAS 13400-13-0, molecular formula Cs-F) is an inorganic chemical supplied as a technical-grade material. It is typically a colourless liquid.
Cesium Fluoride is a fluorination agent for halide exchange reactions. It is a versatile base in organic synthesis and can be used in e.g. in polymerization reactions or in brazing fluxes.
Typical specifications include: PURITY min. 99.9 %; Li max. 5 ppm; Na max. 100 ppm.
Safe handling requires the safety precautions typical for inorganic fluorides. Thus, eyes or skin should not be exposed to cesium fluoride solution, otherwise severe irritation may result.
