Usage

Chemical Properties

dark green liquid

Uses

Biphenyl sodium complex is generally used as a difunctional anionic initiator to synthesize block copolymers and also as a reagent to detect the organic halogen.

General Description

Sodium biphenyl reagent is used to cleave the covalent fluorine bonds in organic compounds and biological samples. The liberated fluoride ions are determined spectrophotometrically or with the fluoride ion electrode.
