They are using a perchlorate to increase safety?
- perihelions 3y agoSo I looked it up. This group [a] had concerns about this ionic liquid class, because of the perchlorate, and they tried standardized impact- and friction- sensitivity tests. They looked at 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium perchlorate, [emim][ClO4]. The ionic liquid in OP is 1-butyl, [bmim][ClO4]. [a] https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1002/ejic.201100529 https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1002/ejic.201100529 "Stability of [emim][ClO4]: With respect to the hazardous nature of organic perchlorates, we tested the stability of I according to the UN Test Series UN 3a to UN 3d..." Here's their conclusion : - "Despite being relatively stable against mechanical stress, the friction test leads to the conclusion that I has to be categorized as a hazardous explosive material. Therefore, I would not become a commonplace ionic liquid like [emim][NTf2]."
