Borate(1-)-11B, tetrahydro-d4-, potassium-39K - Risk and Safety
Borate(1-)-11B, tetrahydro-d4-, potassium-39K - Introduction
Potassium borohydride-11B (borohydride-11B) are isotopic compounds of Potassium borohydride with 11 boron atoms in their nucleus. The following is a detailed description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
Potassium borohydride-11B is a colorless crystalline solid with the chemical formula KB11H14. It has good solubility and can be dissolved in water and organic solvents. It is stable in air, but will gradually decompose in a humid environment.
Use:
Potassium borohydride-11B is widely used in radioisotope tracer technology. Because of its isotopic properties, it can be used to trace the course and path of chemical reactions, to study the metabolic pathways of isotopically labeled compounds, and in research in the fields of biomedical and environmental sciences.
Method:
The preparation of Potassium borohydride-11B usually adopts the method of nuclear reaction. First, in a nuclear reactor with a high neutron flux, boron -10(10B) is reacted with neutrons to produce boron -11(11B). Then, the obtained boron -11 is reacted with Potassium hydride to obtain a Potassium borohydride-11B.
Safety Information:
The radioactive properties of Potassium borohydride-11B require strict control and safe operation. As it is a radioactive material, it needs to be safely handled, stored and transported in accordance with relevant regulations. Similar to other borohydrides, the Potassium borohydride-11B produces hydrogen gas when it reacts with moisture in the air and has a certain flammability. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid contact with strong oxidants or combustibles, and to maintain a well-ventilated laboratory environment. Also, for cases where there is a risk of inhalation, ingestion or skin contact, suitable personal protective equipment must be provided. When using and handling Potassium borohydride-11B, it is necessary to follow the relevant safety procedures.
