1-Decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, CAS: 171058-18-7

Key Applications:

• Surfactant & Phase‑Transfer Agent 
  • The long C10 alkyl chain provides strong amphiphilicity, enabling efficient micelle formation and enhanced solubilization of hydrophobic substrates. Useful in catalysis, extraction, and formulation systems.
• Corrosion Inhibition (CO₂ / Brine Environments) 
  • Demonstrated to significantly reduce corrosion rates of carbon steel (API 5L X52) in CO₂‑saturated NaCl brine by stabilizing FeCO₃ surface layers and suppressing localized attack.
• Electrochemical & Conductive Media 
  • The ionic liquid’s high viscosity and ionic conductivity profile make it suitable for electrochemical studies, electrodeposition environments, and ionic‑liquid‑based electrolytes.
• Solvent & Reaction Medium 
  • Its low volatility and strong solvating power support use as a green solvent for organic transformations, separations, and biomass processing.
• Template / Structure‑Directing Agent 
  • The long‑chain imidazolium cation can act as a soft template in nanomaterial synthesis, surfactant‑assisted assemblies, and mesostructured materials.
