Description

Lanthanum Isopropoxide is a highly reactive metal alkoxide compound, serving as a crucial precursor in advanced materials synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a versatile lanthanum source for the deposition of high-purity lanthanum oxide films and the synthesis of specialized catalysts. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the electronics, catalysis, and specialty chemical industries who require a high-purity, soluble lanthanum precursor. Lanthanum Isopropoxide CAS NO 19446-52-7 is particularly valued for applications demanding precise stoichiometric control and low impurity levels.

Application

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A key precursor for depositing lanthanum-containing thin films, such as lanthanum oxide (La₂O₃), for high-k dielectric layers in semiconductor devices.
• Sol-Gel Processing: Used in the synthesis of lanthanum-doped ceramics, glasses, and nanomaterials, enabling controlled porosity and composition.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for preparing homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, including those for polymerization, organic synthesis, and environmental catalysis.
• Specialty Polymer Additives: Employed as a catalyst or modifying agent in the production of polymers with enhanced thermal or mechanical properties.
• Research & Development: A fundamental reagent in academic and industrial labs for exploring new lanthanum-based materials, including perovskites and other complex oxides.
• Phosphor and Optical Material Production: Used in the synthesis of lanthanum-hosted phosphors for lighting, displays, and imaging technologies.

Quality Control

Our Lanthanum Isopropoxide is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including titration, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and infrared spectroscopy (IR). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and solvent residues is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. The container should be kept tightly sealed and only opened in a moisture-free environment, such as a glovebox.
