General description

Iron(III) acetylacetonate, also known as tris(acetylacetonato)iron(III) or Fe(acac)3, is an coordination compound that is used as a precursor for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles and thin films, which are important in magnetic materials, catalysis, and electronic applications. Additionally, it is also used as a catalyst in various organic reactions, including polymerization processes and cross-coupling reactions.

Application

Iron(III) acetylacetonate can be used as:     
  • A iron precursor for the synthesis of Fe3O4/carbon composite fibers via forcespinning technique. This composite material used in the formation of high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.      
  • A precursor for the synthesis of iron-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the applications in rechargeable alkali-ion batteries.   
  • An additive to enhance the efficiency of the N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalyst in the oxidation of cumene.     
  • A solvent activation agent in the fabrication of polyamide membranes, which are used in reverse osmosis (RO) applications.     
  • As a MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe2O4 films and magnetic property measurements of these films. Iron (III) acetylacetonate may be used as a precursor for the synthesis of water-soluble magnetite nanoparticles, which may find applications in magnetic hyperthermia treatment.      
  • As a MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe2O4 films and magnetic property measurements of these films.

MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe2O4 films and magnetic property measurements of these films.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. 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/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. 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
