Toxicological data

Harmful if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It has a strong irritating effect on eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Inhaling smoke particles can cause replacement of blood proteins, leading to a hyperthermia reaction.

Ecological data

It is extremely harmful to water, even in small amounts, it is toxic to fish and plankton in water bodies.

Toxic to organic matter in water.

Properties and stability

Decomposes with moisture, air, oxides, alcohols, halocarbons, acids, bases, halides, ammonia and amines.

Storage method

Seal and store in a cool, dry, ventilated place, anti-static.

Store away from water, heat, halocarbons, alcohol, and amines.

Avoid contact with air and water.

Synthesis method

1. This product can be produced by heating metallic aluminum and dimethylmercury; or by producing trihalotrimethyldisaluminum from metallic aluminum and halogenated methane, and then reacting with metallic sodium.

2.Use Zn, EtBr and EtI to react in the presence of Cu salt and catalyst to generate EtZnX (X=Br, I), heat it to It is converted into diethyl zinc, which can be separated and purified by distillation.

3.Aluminum powder reacts with methyl iodide to form methylaluminum iodide, which is alloyed with potassium and sodium in dry decane liquid The reaction produces crude trimethylaluminum. The mixture of crude trimethylaluminum and decane is distilled under reduced pressure or normal pressure to obtain a high purity product.

Purpose

1. Trimethylaluminum is used as an olefin polymerization catalyst and ignition fuel. It is also used to prepare linear primary alcohols and olefins. It can be used for vapor deposition of metal organic compounds.

2.Used as P-type of AsGa, GaP and GaAsP when manufacturing light-emitting diodes Dopants. It is also a raw material for the MOCVD process and is used to deposit zinc films.

3.High-purity trimethylaluminum is used as a raw material for the MOCVD process to deposit aluminum films. It can also be used as a catalyst for olefin polymerization.
