1-Butyl-1-methylpiperidinium iodide, CAS: 37971-78-1

Key Applications:

Electrochemical Systems

• Serves as a supporting electrolyte in non‑aqueous electrochemical studies where high ionic strength and wide electrochemical windows are required.
• Useful in evaluating ion‑transport behavior in aprotic media due to the bulky, asymmetric piperidinium cation.
• Supports charge‑transfer studies in redox‑active organic and organometallic systems.

Materials Science and Polymer Research

• Incorporated into polymer matrices to study ionic conductivity, plasticization effects, and ion–polymer interactions.
• Enables formulation of ionically conductive films and gels for exploratory solid‑state device architectures.
• Used in structure–property investigations of piperidinium‑based ionic materials.

Phase‑Transfer and Catalytic Environments

• Functions as a phase‑transfer medium in reactions requiring iodide as a nucleophile or halide source.
• Provides a controlled iodide environment for mechanistic studies in substitution, elimination, and metal‑mediated transformations.
• Supports catalytic systems where bulky organic cations improve solubility or stabilize reactive intermediates.

Solvent and Extraction Studies

• Applied in biphasic extraction experiments to probe ion‑pairing, partitioning, and solvation behavior of iodide in organic media.
• Useful for tuning polarity and ionic strength in mixed‑solvent systems for analytical method development.

Spectroscopic and Fundamental Research

• Employed as a model piperidinium iodide salt for NMR, IR, and Raman studies examining cation–anion interactions.
• Supports benchmarking of computational models involving charge distribution, conformational behavior, and ion‑pair energetics.
