Lithium perchlorate trihydrate 300g CAS Number 13453-78-6 Formula LiClO4 · 3H2O Molecular Weight 160.44 EC Number 232-237-2 Lithium perchlorate is used as a source of oxygen in some chemical oxygen generators. It decomposes at about 400 °C, yielding lithium chloride and oxygen, the latter being over 60% of its mass. It has both the highest oxygen to weight and oxygen to volume ratio of all perchlorates, except beryllium diperchlorate (which is expensive and highly toxic). LiClO4 is highly soluble in organic solvents, even diethyl ether. Such solutions are employed in Diels-Alder reactions, where it is proposed that the Lewis acidic Li+ binds to Lewis basic sites on the dienophile, thereby accelerating the reaction.
