Application

Diethylzinc has been used as a zinc precursor for the synthesis of colloidal Cu/Zn-based nanoparticles,[1][2] and zinc on silica catalysts via atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique.[3]

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac cylinder and has a 1/4-turn bronze ball valve with a female 1/4" NPT outlet thread (Z122661) installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove carbon steel plug that seals the outlet valve.

Compatible with the following:For instructions please refer to technical bulletin AL-136: The Aldrich Sure/Pac Cylinder System
