Collection: Main-group Elements [Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry]

Main-group Elements [Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry] — compiles salts and complexes of main-group elements such as aluminum, bismuth, indium, lead, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, cesium, barium, strontium, selenium, and boron in various forms of halides, oxides, or organic salts. These elements act as catalysts, reagents, or precursors in inorganic synthesis and catalysis.

Main-group Elements are used by inorganic and catalysis chemists for Lewis-acid reactions such as electrophilic activation with indium(III) or bismuth(III) chloride, polymerization catalysis with alkali and alkaline-earth metal salts, and the formation of coordination complexes based on main-group metals. Salts such as barium trifluoromethanesulfonate and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate are used as Lewis-acid catalysts in organic reactions, while lithium and magnesium salts are widely used in electrolyte research and materials chemistry.

Example products in this collection: TCI I0778 10025-82-8 Indium(III) Chloride Anhydrous, TCI B5787 7787-64-6 Bismuth(III) Iodide Anhydrous, TCI Z0066 4991-47-3 Zinc Palmitate, TCI B6120 2794-60-7 Barium(II) Trifluoromethanesulfonate, TCI Z0065 96030-90-9 Zinc Citrate Hydrate, TCI B6309 1304-76-3 Bismuth(III) Oxide, TCI Z0057-5G 54010-75-2 Zinc(II) Trifluoromethanesulfonate [for Electrolyte], TCI B6328 10326-27-9 Barium Chloride Dihydrate.

Pay attention to the anhydrous or hydrate form of metal salts, the purity grade for electrolyte use, and the type of anion (halide, triflate, or acetate), which affect solubility and reactivity in the target reaction. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
