General description

Trimethyl(methylcyclopentadienyl)platinum(IV) is a crystalline organometallic precursor for platinum and is used in microelectronics, catalysis, photonics, and chemical sensing processes. It is also utilized as a precursor for preparing platinum nanoparticles, tuning particle size for better activity and stability of the platinum catalyst.

Application

Trimethyl(methylcyclopentadienyl)platinum(IV) can be used:
  • As a precursor to deposit Pt on tungsten oxide surface by atomic layer deposition method. This acts as a hybrid anode catalyst for PEM fuel cells.
  • To fabricate high performance and stable Si photocathode for solar water splitting reaction.
  • As a precursor to deposit Pt nanoparticles on TiO2 nanotube films for highly efficient gas sensors. Pt nanoparticles significantly enhances the sensitivity.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
