Application

  • Unveiling the Use of 1,1-Bis(triflyl)ethylene as CF(3)SO(2)CH-CH(2) Source with the Assistance of (n-Bu)(4)NF.: This study discusses a synthetic approach using Tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) for generating 3-[(Trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]cyclobut-1-enes, highlighting its role in mediating fluoride ion transfer in organic synthesis (Almendros et al., 2024).
  • Speciation and kinetics of fluoride transfer from tetra-n-butylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate (′TBAT′).: The article explores the speciation and kinetics involved in fluoride transfer processes using TBAT, a compound closely related to TBAF, providing insights into its utility in synthetic chemistry (Lloyd-Jones et al., 2024).
  • Conjugated Polymers with Self-Immolative Sidechain Linkers for Carbon Nanotube Dispersion.: This research utilizes TBAF in the development of novel conjugated polymers with self-immolative sidechains for effective dispersion of carbon nanotubes, demonstrating its application in materials science and nanotechnology (Adronov et al., 2024).
  • Room temperature synthesis of CdSe/CdS triangular nanoemitters and their stabilization in colloidal state and sol-gel glass.: The article discusses the synthesis of semiconductor nanostructures at room temperature, where TBAF plays a critical role in the stabilization of colloidal solutions (Parola et al., 2023).
