General description

Carbon monoxide is a versatile building block used in carbonylation reactions and to prepare single-walled carbon nanotubes. [1]

Application

Carbon monoxide can be used in the following applications:
  • Transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylation reactions.[2]
  • Insertion of carbon monoxide in metal-carbon bonds during copolymerization reactions.[3]
  • To grow single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) via disproportionation reaction catalyzed by molybdenum particles.[4]

Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over transition metals catalysts to form hydrocarbons has been reported.[5]

Packaging

Supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed.

Compatible with the following:
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle station systems
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle gas regulators

Questions

  1. Is that 50 L of gas at STP? What is the pressure of the gas? What is the diameter and height of the tank?

    1 answer
    1. The 50 L of gas is at standard temperature and pressure. The nominal pressure is around ~1650 psig. This product is supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed. The dimensions are approximately 14.5 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
