Collection: Samarium [Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry]
Samarium [Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry] — includes samarium compounds such as samarium(III) chloride and samarium(II) iodide, which act as single-electron transfer reagents and catalyst precursors in various reduction reactions and carbon-carbon bond formation based on rare earth metals.
Samarium(II) iodide, known as Kagan's reagent, is widely used by synthetic chemists for Barbier reactions, pinacol coupling, and radical cyclization via single-electron transfer to carbonyl groups or organic halides. Samarium(III) chloride, in both anhydrous and hexahydrate forms, functions as a soft Lewis acid in condensation reactions and as a precursor for the synthesis of other samarium complexes.
Example products in this collection: TCI A3706 13465-55-9 Samarium(III) Chloride Hexahydrate, TCI S0494 32248-43-4 Samarium(II) Iodide (ca 01mol/L in Tetrahydrofuran), TCI A3511 10361-82-7 Samarium(III) Chloride.
Pay attention to the molar concentration of samarium(II) iodide solutions in tetrahydrofuran and the hydrated or anhydrous form of samarium(III) chloride, as both affect reactivity and ease of handling in synthesis reactions. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
