1-Propylpyridinium triflate, CAS: 1242154-93-3

Key Applications:

Electrochemical Systems

• Serves as a stable ionic medium for electrochemical studies requiring low volatility and high ionic conductivity.
• Useful as a supporting electrolyte in voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, and redox‑active material screening.
• Compatible with metal‑ion coordination environments where non‑coordinating anions are preferred.

Catalysis and Organic Synthesis

• Functions as a polar, thermally robust reaction medium for acid‑catalyzed and transition‑metal‑mediated transformations.
• Supports regioselective and chemoselective pathways in electrophilic substitutions, cyclizations, and heterocycle formation.
• Provides enhanced solubility for organometallic catalysts and ionic intermediates.

Materials Science and Polymer Processing

• Employed as a processing aid or dopant in conductive polymers, ion‑exchange matrices, and hybrid organic–inorganic materials.
• Enhances ionic mobility in polymer electrolytes and membranes designed for energy storage or separation technologies.
• Suitable for thin‑film fabrication workflows requiring low vapor pressure and controlled ionic content.

Thermal and Solvation Applications

• Offers a wide liquid‑phase stability window for high‑temperature reaction environments.
• Acts as a strong, polar, aprotic solvent for solubilizing salts, polar organics, and catalytic species.
• Useful in extraction and partitioning studies where ionic selectivity and low volatility are required.

Analytical and Spectroscopic Use

• Provides a clean ionic background for NMR, IR, and UV‑Vis studies of charged or highly polar analytes.
• Stabilizes reactive intermediates during mechanistic investigations.
• Suitable for ion mobility and mass spectrometry sample preparation where non‑coordinating anions minimize adduct formation.

Energy and Ion‑Transport Research

• Investigated as a component in prototype electrolytes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrochemical capacitors.
• Supports ion‑transport studies due to its well‑defined cation structure and triflate anion mobility.
• Compatible with mixed‑ionic systems exploring cation–anion pairing effects.
