General description
Iron(II) acetate, also known as ferrous acetate, is a white to light brown ionic solid that is highly soluble in water, forming a light green tetrahydrate. It′s less toxic and superior reactivity makes it a safer and more efficient choice for various chemical applications. We also provide a similar product, 517933, with ≥99.99% purity on a trace metals basis.
Application
Iron(II) acetate serves as
- A precursor for the synthesis of magnetite and hematite nanoparticles via solventless thermal decomposition. These iron oxide nanoparticles are used in applications such as optoelectronics, magnetic data storage, anti-corrosion coatings, biomedical imaging, pigments, and gas sensing.
- As a precursor in the pyrolysis process to produce a stable, reusable iron-based nanocatalyst supported on silica, which efficiently hydrogenates a wide range of nitriles into primary amines
- As a dopant precursor to partially substitute lead in MAPbI₃ perovskite thin films, enabling the tuning of structural, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties for the development of high-performance flexible piezoelectric generators (PEGs).
Features and Benefits
- 95% purity ensures minimal contamination and meets industry standards for critical applications.
- Suitable for chemical synthesis as a precursor.
