Metals / metal hydrides test kit

NB.43

This unique testing kit provides a convenient and highly accurate method for determining reagent purities. Hydrogen gas is produced when active metals and metal hydrides (including boron hydrides) react with suitable hydrolytic solvents. The hydrogen gas displaces the water in the graduated burette which allows for quantitative measurement.
The metals and metal hydrides which can be analyzed include:

• Sodium and lithium as dispersions in mineral oil
• Borane-tetrahydrofuran and borane-methyl sulfide complexes
• 9-BBN
• K-Selectride
• Lithium aluminum hydride
• Diisobutylaluminum hydride

Please refer to Aldrich Technical Information Bulletin AL-123 for procedural details of the testing process. This bulletin is downloadable from the Technical Reference section on our website at sigma-aldrich.com, or by calling your local Technical Service group.
