General Description

POTASSIUM TETRAMETHYLCYCLOPENTADIENIDE is a chemical compound with the formula K(CH3)4C5H5, which consists of a potassium cation and a tetramethylcyclopentadienide anion. It is a highly reactive organometallic compound that is commonly used as a strong base in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various organic compounds and materials. It is also used as a ligand in coordination chemistry and as a reagent in the formation of metal complexes. POTASSIUM TETRAMETHYLCYCLOPENTADIENIDE is highly air-sensitive and should be handled and stored under inert conditions to prevent its degradation.
