Description

Application

Chloroform may be used in the following processes:

• Synthesis of colloidal hydrophobic CdSe core nanocrystals (quantum dots).[1]
• Preparing phospholipid solutions.[2]
• As a solvent in the photolysis reaction of ruthenium complexes.[3]
• Solvent for recrystallization.[4]
• As a reference compound to detect the presence of chloroform in tobacco smokes.[5]
• As an extractant in solvent extraction process.[6]

General description

Chloroform is a colorless, volatile chlorinated organic solvent whose vapors have narcotic effect.[7] It is susceptible to degradation with time which can be suppressed by adding ethanol as a stabilizer. Since ethanol is added in higher concentration it leads to increase in polarity which may have a potential influence on some of the applications.
