Directory Guidance on Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum
Product Introduction:
Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is an organoaluminum compound with the chemical formula C18H39Al. It is often used in organic synthesis, polymerization reactions, and catalyst research.
In terms of physical properties, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is usually a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid. It has a low melting point and is easily soluble in hydrocarbon solvents (such as n-hexane, dichloromethane, etc.), but insoluble in water. Because its aluminum atoms have strong electrophilicity, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is very easy to hydrolyze and oxidize in air and water, releasing hydrogen and generating aluminum hydroxide.
In terms of chemical properties, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum has strong nucleophilicity and strong reducing properties, and can react with a variety of organic compounds, especially in catalytic reactions. It has important applications. For example, in polymerization reactions, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is often used as a catalyst or initiator to initiate the polymerization of olefins. In addition, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can also be used to synthesize other organoaluminum compounds, especially in liquid phase catalysis.
As a strong reducing agent, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can spontaneously combust in the air and react violently with oxygen. It reacts with a variety of oxidants such as alcohols, acids and ketones to produce corresponding reduction products. In addition, it can also react with halogens to produce corresponding organic halides.
However, due to the strong chemical activity of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum, it needs special attention to avoid contact with water and air during use and storage to prevent unnecessary reactions. The correct storage method is to keep it in a sealed container and place it in a cool and dry environment.

What Are The Uses of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum
Product service:
Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is an organoaluminum compound with the molecular formula Al(C6H13)3. It is a trialkylaluminum compound. This type of compound has a wide range of applications in chemistry, materials science and industrial applications.
1. Application in catalysts
The application of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum as a catalyst is mainly reflected in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
①Copolymerization reaction: Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can be used as an important component in the Ziegler–Natta catalytic system for the catalysis of olefin polymerization reactions such as polyethylene and polypropylene. As a metallic aluminum source, it works synergistically with a titanium source (such as TiCl4) to activate olefin monomers and promote polymerization reactions.
②Organic synthesis reaction: Due to its strong electron-attracting properties, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is used as a catalyst in many organic reactions, especially in C-C bond formation reactions (such as olefin addition reactions).
2. Application in reducing agent
Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum has strong reducing property, which makes it used as reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially in the reduction reaction of some difficult-to-reduce compounds.
① Reduction reaction: As an organoaluminum compound, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can reduce some metal ions or organic compounds with higher oxidation states.
In organic synthesis, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can be used to reduce compounds such as olefins, ketones, aldehydes to corresponding alkylation products. For example, it can reduce ketones to allyl alcohol or corresponding alkylation products.
② Hydrogenation reaction: Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can also be used as a reducing agent for hydrogenation reaction, especially in some hydrogenation reactions involving metal catalysis, it plays a role in directly reducing organic compounds.
3. Application in metal surface treatment
The application of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum in metal surface treatment is relatively special, mainly used to modify the properties of metal surface.
① Metal surface passivation: Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can react with the metal surface to form a protective film, which plays a role in passivating the metal surface. This process has a positive effect on improving the corrosion resistance of the metal and improving its long-term stability.
For example, on the surface of metals such as aluminum alloys and titanium alloys, it can react with environmental factors such as oxygen and moisture to form an aluminum oxide film or other protective coating to prevent metal corrosion.
② Metal surface modification: Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can also be used as a component of metal surface coatings to improve the lubricity and wear resistance of the metal surface and its bonding performance with other materials, and enhance the mechanical properties of metal materials.
4. Application in rocket fuel
In terms of rocket fuel, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is mainly used as one of the components of fuel, and is usually used with other metal compounds as an additive for high-energy fuels.
① High-energy fuel: Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can react violently with oxidants to release a large amount of heat energy. This characteristic makes it have potential application value in high-energy fuels. In rocket propellants, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum may work with other metal compounds (such as aluminum powder) to provide additional energy release, improve combustion efficiency and propulsion.
②Application in rocket propellants: As a fuel additive, Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum can improve the combustion characteristics of rocket propellants, especially enhance the thermal stability of propellants and increase the burning rate. This fuel is often used in solid rocket propellants, especially in high-performance military and aerospace applications.

Precautions when using Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum
You need to be especially careful when using Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum because it is a very reactive chemical with strong reducing and flammable properties. For safe use, some strict operating procedures and precautions must be followed:
1. Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum should be waterproof and moisture-proof
Avoid contact with water: It reacts violently in water or moisture, releasing hydrogen and generating intense heat. This may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the operating environment is dry when using it, and all containers and equipment should be kept absolutely dry.
Sealed storage: It should be stored in a sealed container and placed in a dry and ventilated place. The container should be marked with the name of the chemical and ensure that the container lid is well sealed.
2. Precautions for Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum contact with air
Flammability: It reacts easily with oxygen in the air and may spontaneously ignite. When using it, make sure that the operating area is away from fire and high temperature sources.
Inert gas protection: When it needs to be stored or used, it is best to use inert gases such as nitrogen and argon for protection to avoid direct contact with air.
3. Reaction Control of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum
Control the reaction rate: Due to its high reactivity, it may react violently, especially at high temperatures or in contact with certain chemicals. The reaction temperature and reaction rate must be strictly controlled to avoid excessive heat or pressure.
Avoid excessive use: In catalytic or reduction reactions, the amount of Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum used must be precisely controlled according to the requirements of the reaction. Excessive use may cause unstable reactions and increase danger.
The key to using Tri-N-Hexyl Aluminum is strict operating specifications and protective measures, especially avoiding unsafe reactions with water, oxygen in the air, and other chemicals. Be sure to use it in an appropriate environment, take necessary safety precautions, and have emergency response plans to ensure the safety of operators and the environment.
