Formic Acid-13C - Introduction
Formic-13C acid, also known as tritium Acid-13C, is a carbon-containing isotope of Formic acid. Its chemical formula is 13ch₂ O₂, where 13C refers to the isotope of carbon, which contains heavier carbon than ordinary formic acid. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of Formic-13C acids:
Nature:
Formic-13C acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It has similar chemical properties to ordinary formic acid and is soluble in water and many organic solvents.
Use:
Formic-13C acids have a wide range of applications in chemical research and labeling molecules. One of its main uses is as a labeling agent in NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy. By replacing the carbon atom in ordinary formic acid with Formic-13C acid, the carbon atom trajectory in the compound can be traced with 13C NMR technology for structural analysis and metabolic studies.
Preparation Method:
Formic-13C acids are usually prepared by synthetic methods. A common preparation method is to react 13C labeled sodium cyanide with water to form a mixture of Formic-13C acid and sodium cyanide. Purified by distillation, pure Formic-13C acid can be obtained.
Safety Information:
Formic-13C acids are irritating substances that may be irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. During use, wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In the process of operation to ensure good ventilation, avoid inhalation of its vapor. Such as accidental contact or inhalation, should be timely cleaning and ventilation, such as do not adapt to the immediate medical treatment. In addition, Formic-13C acids are also flammable liquids, so avoid contact with fire sources during operation and keep them away from fire sources and oxidants during storage.
