| Application: | Chloroform may be used in the following processes: • Synthesis of colloidal hydrophobic CdSe core nanocrystals (quantum dots). • Preparing phospholipid solutions. • As a solvent in the photolysis reaction of ruthenium complexes. • Solvent for recrystallization. • As a reference compound to detect the presence of chloroform in tobacco smokes. • As an extractant in solvent extraction process. |
| General description: | Chloroform is a colorless, volatile chlorinated organic solvent whose vapors have narcotic effect. 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. |
