Cobalt(II) acetylacetonate – 97%, high purity , CAS No.14024-48-7

Cobalt(II)acetylacetonate (Co(acac)2) is a coordination compound in which acentral cobalt atom is coordinated to two acetylacetonate ligands, which act asbidentate ligands. It is used in various applications such as organicsynthesis, coordination chemistry, and as a catalyst in several chemicalreactions. Additionally, Co(acac)2 is used as a precursor in processes such aschemical vapor deposition (CVD) and laser evaporation techniques for thefabrication of thin films. It also plays a crucial role in the production ofcobalt oxide thin films, which find applications in electronics, catalysis, andother fields requiring thin film coatings.
Application
Cobalt(II)-catalyzed insertion of isocyanides into amines: A synthetic method for the formation of ureas and azaheterocycles catalyzed by cobalt(II) acetylacetonate is described in detail, which is applicable to pharmaceutical synthesis (Zhu et al., 2014).
Imidoester-assisted cobalt-catalyzed C-H functionalization: A method for C-H functionalization using cobalt(II) acetylacetonate is described, which is important for organic synthesis and materials chemistry (Mei & Ackermann, 2016).
Covalent anchoring of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate on magnetic mesoporous silica nanospheres: Its use as a catalyst for olefin epoxidation is highlighted, which is related to catalysis research (Li et al., 2015).
Cobalt(II) acetylacetonate can be used to:
Solvothermal precursors for the synthesis of Co3O4 nanoparticles. These nanoparticles exhibit high electrochemical performance and are used as potential supercapacitor materials due to their excellent capacitance and cycling stability.
Hydrothermal precursors for the preparation of Co3O4 nanoparticles. The resulting Co3O4 nanoparticles have a highly uniform mesoporous structure and tunable size, making them promising for CO sensing applications.
The precursors for the cobalt oxide thin films were prepared using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).
