General description

Iridium(III) acetylacetonate is a thermallystable organic precursor widely used in the chemical vapor deposition process.It has relatively high saturated vapor pressure and low sublimationenthalpy.

Application

Iridium(III)acetylacetonate can be used as a precursor in the preparation of:
  • Iridium coatings by metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).
  • Iridium oxide nanoclusters (IrOx). ZrOCoII−IrOx can be used as a catalyst in carbon dioxide reduction.
  • MgF2–MgO supported Iridium catalyst for CO oxidation.(3)
