Hafnium Acetylacetonate is aHafnium source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organiccompounds). The high purityacetylacetonate anion complexes by bonding each oxygen atom to themetallic cation to form achelate ring; because of this property, acetylacetonates are commonly used in variouscatalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis, including the fabrication of various shapes ofcarbon nanostructures (as demonstrated by a 2013 experiment by researchers at theLeibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden) via the use ofchemical vapor deposition (CVD) and laser evaporation techniques. It is generally immediately available in most volumes.Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered. Hafnium Acetylacetonate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds) sold by American Elements under the trade name AE Organo-Metallics™ for uses requiring non-aqueous solubility such as recentsolar energy andwater treatment applications. Similar results can sometimes also be achieved withNanoparticles and bythin film deposition. Note American Elements additionally supplies many materials assolutions. The numerous commercial applications forHafnium include primary component in nuclear control rods, dopant in the alloy of steel and titanium, and it is also used in the production of mantles for high intensity incandescent lamps. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade,USP andEP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicableASTMtesting standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is aReference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.
