General description

Potassium bromide is an ionic salt that is used as a capping agent/medium in the preparation of nanomaterials such as ZrB2 and palladium nanoparticles.. It is also widely used as a source of bromine in various organic transformations.

Application

May be used for removal of peripheral membrane proteins.

Features and Benefits

  • Offers high purity of ≥99.999%, suitable for sensitive applications.
  • High melting point (734°C) ensure thermal and chemical stability across a wide range of industrial conditions.
  • Trace metal impurities ≤15.0 ppm, to ensure minimal interference in high-precision experiments and manufacturing processes.
  • Anhydrous form enhances stability and reactivity control, in moisture-sensitive reactions and vacuum systems.

A new family of energetic compounds, nitropyrazoles bearing a trinitromethyl moiety at the nitrogen atom of the heterocycle, was designed. The desirable high-energy dense oxidizers 3,4-dinitro- and 3,5-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)pyrazoles were synthesized in good yields by destructive nitration of the corresponding 1-acetonylpyrazoles.
