Triethylaluminium
Triethylaluminium (TEAL) is an organoaluminium compound. This volatile, colorless liquid is highly pyrophoric, igniting immediately upon exposure to air. It is normally stored in stainless steel containers either as a pure liquid or as a solution inhydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, heptane, or toluene. TEAL is mainly used as a co-catalyst in the industrial production of polyethylene and for the production of medium chainalcohols.
