About Potassium bromide

TLC Reagents

Potassium bromide puriss. p.a., ACS reagent, 99.5% (AT) 

 Application

May be used for removal of peripheral membrane proteins.

Potassium bromide may be employed in the following studies:
 Spectrophotometric determination of aromatic amino compounds. 
 Preparation of AgBr nanoparticles (NPs).
 In combination with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN), it has been employed for the bromination of alkenes.
 As an oxidant for the selective monobromination of various deactivated anilines.
 Preparation of sample pellets for IR spectroscopic investigations.

Other Notes

TLC detection, for the in situ production of bromine.

General description

Potassium bromide (KBr) is an alkaline-earth chloride. Density, viscosity and electrolytic conductivity of concentrated aqueous solutions of alkaline-earth chlorides [KBr, LaCl₃, Na₂SO₄, NaBr, KNO₃ and Cd(NO₃)₂] have been evaluated.
