1-Benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, CAS: 433337-24-7

Key Applications:

Advanced Solvent and Reaction Medium

• Serves as a highly stable, non‑volatile solvent for organic synthesis, particularly where aromatic stabilization or cation–π interactions enhance reactivity.
• Supports transition‑metal catalysis, cross‑coupling, and electrophilic aromatic substitution under mild conditions.
• Enables selective extraction and separation processes due to its hydrophobic, low‑coordinating NTf₂⁻ anion.

Electrochemical and Energy‑Related Uses

• Functions as an ionic liquid electrolyte component with wide electrochemical stability windows.
• Suitable for redox‑active systems where aromatic cation structures improve charge transport or solvation of organic redox couples.
• Used in electrodeposition studies, especially for noble metals and conductive polymer formation.

Materials Science and Polymer Processing

• Acts as a plasticizer or processing aid for specialty polymers, including ionomers and aromatic‑rich matrices.
• Supports templating and structuring in porous materials, carbon frameworks, and ionic‑liquid‑derived composites.
• Useful in stabilizing nanoparticles and dispersions where π‑interactions improve colloidal behavior.

Extraction, Separation, and Purification

• Effective in liquid–liquid extraction of aromatic compounds, metal ions, and hydrophobic organics.
• Applied in biphasic catalysis systems where phase separation and recyclability are essential.
• Offers tunable selectivity for organic contaminants in environmental remediation research.

Spectroscopy, Analytical Chemistry, and Research Applications

• Provides a low‑volatility, high‑purity matrix for NMR, IR, and electroanalytical studies.
• Used to investigate ion pairing, solvation dynamics, and π‑stacking effects in ionic liquid systems.
• Serves as a benchmark aromatic imidazolium IL for structure–property relationship studies.
