General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a lewis acid in nucleophilic addition and as a catalyst in aldol reactions.

Application

  • Initiating a high-temperature zinc ion battery through a triazolium-based ionic liquid: This study explores the use of zinc trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in ionic liquid for high-temperature zinc ion batteries, demonstrating significant improvements in conductivity and stability. (Li et al., 2022).
  • Enhancing the solubility of 6-mercaptopurine by formation of ionic cocrystal with zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate: The research focuses on improving the solubility of 6-mercaptopurine by forming ionic cocrystals with zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, resulting in single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation. (Yao et al., 2014).
  • Spontaneous desaturation of the solvation sheath for high-performance anti-freezing zinc-ion gel-electrolyte: This paper discusses the development of a high-performance anti-freezing zinc-ion gel-electrolyte using zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, which shows excellent performance even at low temperatures. (Li et al., 2023).
