Cadmium Acetylacetonate Description
Cadmium Acetylacetonate (CAS: 14689-45-3) is a Cadmium source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic, and metallo-organic Acetylacetonate Packaging, Lab Quantitycompounds). The high purity acetylacetonate anion complexes by bonding each oxygen atom to the metallic cation to form a chelate ring; because of this property, acetylacetonates are commonly used in various catalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis, including the fabrication of various shapes of carbon nanostructures (as demonstrated by a 2013 experiment by researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden) via the use of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and laser evaporation techniques. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra-high purity and high purity forms may be considered.
Cadmium Acetylacetonate is one of the numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic, and metallo-organic compounds) sold by Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM).

Cadmium Acetylacetonate FAQs
Q1: What are the common applications of Cadmium Acetylacetonate?
Answer: It is used as a catalyst in polymerization reactions, a precursor for the synthesis of cadmium-containing materials, in thin-film deposition processes, and as a stabilizer in certain plastic formulations.
Q2: How is Cadmium Acetylacetonate synthesized?
Answer: It is commonly synthesized by reacting cadmium salts (like cadmium chloride) with acetylacetone in the presence of a base, which precipitates the Cadmium Acetylacetonate.
Q3: What are the storage conditions for Cadmium Acetylacetonate?
Answer: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
