General description

Bromomethane solution (methyl bromide) is the most effective soil fumigant for killing plant pests, its use is being phased out because its emissions from soil can lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction of methyl bromide and OH- in aqueous solution has been investigated using a multilayered-representation quantum mechanical and molecular mechanics methodology.

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac cylinder and has a 1/4-turn bronze ball valve with a female 1/4" NPT outlet thread (Z122661) installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove carbon steel plug that seals the outlet valve.

Compatible with the following:For instructions please refer to technical bulletin AL-136: The Aldrich Sure/Pac Cylinder System

Despite generally being considered the most effective soil fumigant, methyl bromide (MeBr) use is being phased out because its emissions from soil can lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. However, a large amount is still currently used due to Critical Use

Methyl bromide (MB) chamber fumigations were evaluated for postharvest control of light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in fresh fruit destined for export from California. To simulate external feeding, larvae were contained in gas-permeable cages and distributed

We describe the dissociative attachment (DA) of methyl bromide to form chemisorbed CH(3) and Br on a Si(100)-2×1 surface at 270 K. The patterns of DA were studied experimentally by ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and interpreted by ab
