Product Name: Iridium(III) Chloride Hydrate
CAS No.: 14996-61-3
Molecular Formula: IrCl₃·xH₂O (typical hydrate forms with x=3 or 4)
Molecular Weight: 298.58 g/mol (anhydrous basis)
Overview:
Iridium(III) Chloride Hydrate is one of the most significant iridium compounds. It serves as a key precursor material for many high-performance iridium-based catalysts, functional materials, and precious metal plating baths. As a versatile ligand and metal source with labile chloride ligands, it provides facile access to a wide range of functional iridium complexes with exceptional photophysical, electrochemical, and catalytic properties.
Key Advantages:
Superior Product Quality: We offer high-purity material with consistent purity ≥98% and strict control over other precious metal impurities (Pt, Pd, Ru), ensuring that derived iridium complexes exhibit superior and reproducible performance.
Stable & Scalable Supply: Leveraging a reliable precious metal supply chain and established processes, we guarantee stable production and supply from gram to kilogram scale, supporting both R&D and manufacturing needs.
Competitive Market Pricing: Through expert precious metal sourcing and optimized manufacturing, we provide this material at a more competitive price point compared to the international market, offering our customers excellent value.
Physicochemical Properties:
Appearance: Dark brown to black crystalline powder or lumps.
Solubility: Soluble in water, yielding an acidic, yellow-brown solution; soluble in alcohol.
Stability: Stable to light and not deliquescent.
Primary Applications:
Iridium(III) Chloride Hydrate is a fundamental starting material for synthesizing:
OLED Emissive Materials: For the preparation of high-efficiency phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes, which are essential dopants in the emissive layer of red, green, and blue Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) for displays and lighting.
Homogeneous Catalysts: Used to prepare iridium-based catalysts (via ligand exchange) for transfer hydrogenation, C-H activation, asymmetric synthesis, and other catalytic transformations.
Precious Metal Electroplating: As a precursor for specialized iridium plating baths, used to deposit ultra-thin, hard, and corrosion-resistant pure iridium or iridium alloy coatings on medical devices, aerospace components, or microelectronics.
Advanced Research & Functional Materials: As a metal source for producing iridium oxide (IrO₂) electrode materials (e.g., Dimensionally Stable Anodes - DSA), chemical sensors, and other specialty functional materials.
Packaging & Storage:
Packaging: Available in sealed glass vials of 500mg, 1g, 5g, 10g, 50g, and other standard or custom quantities.
Storage: Although not deliquescent, it is recommended to store sealed in a cool, dry place, separated from strong oxidizers and acids.
We welcome inquiries, collaboration, and sample requests from all partners in OLED materials, fine chemicals, catalysis research, electroplating technologies, and advanced manufacturing!
