Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Uses
Toluene-d
8 can be used as solvent to study the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the corresponding polymethylene block copolymers.
Uses
Toluene-d8 is the labelled version of Toluene, a hydrocarbon fuel with many applications. It is also highly biotoxic, with sterilization applications to microbial cultures and the ability to lyse bact
erial cells.
Definition
ChEBI: Toluene-d8 is a deuterated compound, a methylbenzene, a member of toluenes and a volatile organic compound.
General Description
Toluene-d8 is a non polar, aromatic solvent.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Toluene-d8 is used in the determination of magnitude of magnetic interactions, hydrogen bond geometry and its association with solvent polarity. Toluene is highly biotoxic and lethal for microorganisms, therefore can be used as a sterilant.
