Chemical Name: 1-Hexyl-3-Vinylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate
Concentration: Approx. 100%
Impurities/Additives: Trace moisture, unreacted starting materials (may vary by supplier)
Hazardous Components: Hexafluorophosphate anion can release hydrogen fluoride under acidic or high-temperature conditions
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air immediately; seek medical attention for persistent symptoms including coughing or shortness of breath
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water for at least 15 minutes; medical attention required for persistent irritation or burns
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing; get medical attention promptly
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; seek medical advice immediately
General Advice: Show the safety data sheet or label to medical personnel; provide detailed information about substance exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam; avoid water streams
Special Hazards: Under fire conditions, releases toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen fluoride, phosphorus oxides, and imidazole derivatives
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Evacuate personnel to safe location; keep containers cool with water spray from a safe distance; contain runoff, as chemicals may pollute water sources
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, protective clothing, and suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering surface water, sewers, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb small spills with inert material such as sand or vermiculite; collect for appropriate disposal; ventilate area and wash down residue with plenty of water, avoiding contact with acids to prevent HF release
Decontamination: Ensure thorough cleaning of tools and personal clothing after handling spills
Handling: Conduct work in a well-ventilated area; avoid skin and eye contact; avoid vapors or spray; keep containers tightly sealed; label containers clearly; operate with local exhaust or general ventilation
Storage: Store below 30°C in original tightly closed containers; segregate from incompatible materials, especially strong acids, bases, and oxidizers; keep away from moisture to avoid hydrolysis of hexafluorophosphate; store in dry, cool, and dark locations
Storage Stability: Protect from light and physical damage; ensure secondary containment for larger quantities
Control Parameters: No formal workplace exposure limits established; handle as hazardous chemical
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood, local exhaust, or adequate ventilation
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat, suitable face protection if risk of splashes; use approved respirator if dust or aerosols might form
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with the substance; change contaminated clothing promptly and wash before reuse
Appearance: Clear to slightly yellow viscous liquid
Odor: Mild, characteristic
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous liquid)
Boiling Point: Estimated above 250°C (thermal decomposition likely before boiling)
Melting Point: Below room temperature
Flash Point: Not established or not flammable
Solubility: Moderate in water; high in organic solvents like acetonitrile, acetone, DMSO
Density: Approx. 1.2–1.3 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Very low at room temperature
Stability: Stable under standard storage; decomposes if exposed to strong acids, bases, or heat; moisture can release corrosive and toxic gases
Chemical Stability: Maintains structure under recommended storage and handling
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizers, water or moisture (causes hydrolysis and releases hydrogen fluoride)
Decomposition Products: Hydrogen fluoride, phosphorus oxides, imidazolium derivatives
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, sources of moisture, contact with incompatible chemicals
Reactivity: May react violently with certain metals, strong acids, or bases; avoid mixing with strong oxidizing agents
Acute Toxicity: May cause skin and eye burns, severe irritation of the respiratory and digestive systems
Symptoms of Exposure: Redness, blistering of skin; burning sensation in eyes or nose; gastrointestinal distress if swallowed
Chronic Effects: No comprehensive long-term studies reported; repeated exposure may increase risk of cumulative organ effects or sensitization
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC or NTP
Mutagenicity / Reproductive Toxicity: No reliable testing results
Additional Health Hazards: Accidental hydrolysis or decomposition may cause exposure to hydrogen fluoride, which is toxic and corrosive
Aquatic Toxicity: Suspected toxic to aquatic organisms on short and long-term exposure; can persist in the environment
Terrestrial Impact: May contaminate soil if released in significant amounts
Bioaccumulation Potential: Moderate risk due to high stability and low biodegradability of imidazolium ionic liquids
Mobility in Soil: Likely to move with water; hexafluorophosphate anion remains stable and does not degrade easily
Other Adverse Effects: Degraded hexafluorophosphate can release fluorine-containing moieties, which are harmful to plants and aquatic life
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose as hazardous waste according to local, national, and international regulations
Do Not: Allow into drains, sewers, or open environment
Container Disposal: Rinse empty containers with non-flammable solvent, then treat as hazardous waste
Recommended Disposal: Through licensed chemical waste contractor with complete documentation; maintain records of amount and type of waste sent for incineration or approved landfill
