Cesium fluoride (CsF) is a highly reactive inorganic salt used as a strong fluoride ion donor in organic synthesis, particularly in fluorination reactions and as a catalyst in various chemical processes. It is also employed in semiconductor manufacturing and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. Beyond synthesis, it goes into the production of optical components and specialty glasses and serves as an inorganic scintillator material. Cesium fluoride has a CAS number of 13400-13-0, with a molecular formula of CsF and a molecular weight of 151.91 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its corrosive and hazardous nature, indicated by its "Danger" signal word. Molekula supplies cesium fluoride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
