General description

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate is a hydrate of alkali metal hydroxide. Its IR spectral analysis has been reported. A refinement of its crystal structure has been described. Its crystals exhibit monoclinic crystal system and C2/m space group. It can be prepared by reacting Li metal with H2O, followed by the evaporation of the aqueous solution.

Application

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH.H2O) may be employed as a catalyst during the melt transesterification of diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A. Kinetics of this transesterification reaction have been investigated.

Highly water-soluble and color-tunable photoluminescent fullerene nanoparticles are synthesized by using tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and lithium hydroxide as a catalyst. The maximum PL emission changes depend on the contents of the remaining π-conjugation in oxidized C(60), which is partially covalently
