Application

Glutaronitrile serves multiple purposes in diverse applications. It is a clear, colorless to yellow liquid primarily used as an electrolyte additive in high energy and power lithium-ion batteries, enhancing their performance and longevity. Additionally, it acts as a glutarate ligand source, essential in the preparation of zinc glutarate (ZnGA) through its reaction with zinc perchlorate hexahydrate. Furthermore, Glutaronitrile is a vital reactant in synthesizing pentanedithioamide, achieved by its interaction with Lawesson's reagent in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate (BF3.OEt2).
