Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. Self-accelerating decomposition may occur if the specific control temperature is not maintained. These materials are particularly sensitive to temperature rises. AZODIISOBUTYRONITRILE(78-67-1) is an azo compound. Azo, diazo, azido compounds can detonate. This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids. Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals.

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Azobisisobutyronitrile (abbreviated AIBN) is an organic compound with the formula [(CH3)2C(CN)]2N2. This white powder is soluble in alcohols and common organic solvents but is insoluble in water. It is often used as a foamer in plastics and rubber and as a radical initiator. It's soluble in a wide variety of organic solvents, including alcohol-based solvents. Insoluble in water and denser than water. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Readily ignited by sparks or flames. Burns intensely and persistently. Toxic oxides of nitrogen produced during combustion. Used as a catalyst, in vinyl polymerizations and a blowing agent for plastics.
| [Uses]
2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) is used as an initiator in polymer radical polymerization because its molecules can easily undergo split reactions and form molecules with high activation energy. 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) is the most commonly used azo initiator. Its characteristic is that the decomposition reaction is relatively stable, only one kind of free radical is generated, and basically no induced decomposition occurs, so it is often used in the kinetics research of free radical polymerization.
| [Recrystallization]
1, recrystallize twice a chemically pure 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) with methanol (by 1:12) and air-dry in a ventilated dark overnight, then place in a vacuum oven with phosphorus pentoxide as a desiccant, vacuum degree 1.013 * 105Pa, under reduced pressure, and dry to 24h.Refined 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) needs to be put in the colored jar, sealed and kept in cold dark place.
2, add 50ml 95% alcohol into 150ml Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a reflux condenser , heat in a water bath to near boiling, quickly add 5gAIBN, shak to make it be completely dissolved (boiling time not too long, if too long, severe decomposition ), filter hot solution rapidly ( the funnel and filter flask using for filter must be warmed) and cool the filtrate to give white crystals, dry in a vacuum desiccator, a melting point of 102℃, store the product in a brown bottle, cryopreservation.
| [Uses]
Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is an azo-compound and is widely used as a free radical initiator. This compound has labile carbon-nitrogen covalent bond which undergoes homolytic scission under thermal, chemical or photochemical conditions producing free radicals. They are useful in many reactions like halogenation, polymerisation of vinyl monomers, grafting reactions, curing of rubbers and unsaturated polymers and cross-linking of polyolefins. AIBN can be used as an initiator in the synthesis of highly cross-linked Poly(divinylbenzene) (PDVB) polymers. It also can be used as an initiator in the polymerization process of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA).
| [Temperature of initiator]
2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) is a particularly excellent free radical initiator , nitrogen will be released by the decomposition when it is heated to about 70 ° C and free radicals (CH3) 2CCN is generated which is affected by cyano radical , more stable. It can react with other organic substrates, and then generates a new radical in annihilation of itself , causing chain reaction of free radicals (see radical reaction). At the same time, it can also be two coupled molecules, generating highly toxic tetramethoxysilane succinonitrile (TMSN).
AIBN melts when heated to 100~107 ° C and dramaticly decomposes, releases nitrogen and several organic nitrile compound toxic to humans, and may cause an explosion, fire. Slowly decomposes at room temperature, and it should be stored at 10 ° C or less. Away from fire, heat source. poisonous. Metabolizes into hydrocyanic acid in the blood, liver, brain and other tissues of animals.
