General description
Rubidium chloride is an alkali metal halide saltand an excellent water-soluble crystalline rubidium source. It is widely used in thefield of biomedical research, electrochemistry, nanomaterial synthesis, and thepetrol industry.
Application
Rubidium chloride can be used as a dopant to synthesize magnesium oxide nanoparticles.
It can be used to enhance the performance of OLEDs. For example, a thin layer of RbCl inserted into a multilayer OLED (ITO/NPB/Alq3/Al) can significantly increase its electroluminescent efficiency. This can happen due to the lowering of the electron injection barrier and enhancing the recombination rate induced by trap sites provided by the RbCl layer.
Rubidium chloride (RbCl) can also be used as a non-invasive biomarker.
It may also be used to study the chronotypic effects of Rb in hamsters.

Do I need to be aware of anything when handling Rubidium Chloride, Product R2252?
1 answer-
Yes, Rubidium Chloride is hygroscopic and will absorb water. This should be taken into account when handling and storing this compounds. Flushing the head space of the bottle with Nitrogen and storing it in a dessicator will help to keep the material from absorbing moisture.

How is Product R2252, Rubidium Chloride made?
1 answer-
There are many techniques and methods for Rubidium Chloride - here a few: One way to make rubidium chloride is to react the hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization.RbOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -> RbCl(aq) + H2O(l)Rubidium(I) bromide can also be made by the neutralization of rubidium(I) carbonate with hydrobromic acid. The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization.Rb2(CO3)(aq) + 2HBr(aq) -> 2RbBr(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)While not a normal route of preparation because of the expense, rubidium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form rubidium halides. So, it burns with chlorine, Cl2, to form rubidium(I) chloride, RbCl.2Rb(s) + Cl2(g) -> 2RbCl(s)
