1. Basic Info
Name: 1H-Benzotriazole
Alias: BTA, Benzotriazole
CAS No.: 95-14-7
Molecular Formula: C6H5N3
Molecular Weight: 119.13
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white needle crystalline powder, slight bitter odor
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, chloroform, benzene
- Melting Point: 98–100 ℃
- Boiling Point: Decomposes above 200 ℃
- Density (20℃): 1.27 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- UV characteristic: Strong ultraviolet absorption performance
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Benzene fused triazole heterocycle, contains active N-H bond
- Weak acidity: N-H hydrogen can react with alkali metals/alkali to generate benzotriazolate salts
- Metal chelation: Nitrogen lone pairs form stable adsorption film on copper, brass, bronze surface, excellent copper corrosion inhibition
- Alkylation reaction: Active hydrogen undergoes substitution with halides to produce N-substituted benzotriazole derivatives
- Photostability: Stable under normal light; strong UV long-term irradiation slowly decomposes
- Thermal stability: Stable below 100℃; sublimates and decomposes above melting point
- Compatibility: Compatible with water-based solvents, coating resins; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid
