General description
Chromium(III) acetylacetonate (Cr(acac)₃) is a high-purity (≥97%) coordination complex that appears as a purple to very dark purple powder or in chunk form. It is a stable, air-insensitive compound, soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Its high thermal stability and well-defined molecular structure make it an excellent precursor for synthesizing advanced materials. Cr(acac)₃ is especially valued for applications in catalysis, thin film deposition, and as a molecular probe in spectroscopic studies.
Application
Chromium(III) acetylacetonate can be used as:
- A precursor for the synthesis of chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) nanoparticles, which are utilized in magnetic, catalytic, and electrochemical devices
- A molecular precursor in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and sol-gel processes to fabricate chromium-containing thin films for electrochromic and energy storage applications
- A catalyst or catalyst precursor in selective oxidation and polymerization reactions, enabling efficient and sustainable organic transformations
Analysis Note
Used to modify the surface properties of solid polyurethanes formed in its presence.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy relies on using multiple excitation pulses to create multiple quantum coherences that provide great specificity for chemical measurements. Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) is the optical analogue of NMR. Current CMDS methods use three excitation pulses and

Nearly monodisperse lanthanide-doped magnetite nanoparticles were obtained by thermally decomposing a mixture of Fe(acac)(3) and Ln(acac)(3) (acac = acetylacetonate; Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd) in the presence of passivating surfactants. Magnetic studies revealed room-temperature ferromagnetic behaviors of these doped nanoparticles
