Description

Bismuth Hexafluoropentanedionate is a high-purity organometallic compound, also known as bismuth(III) hexafluoroacetylacetonate. This compound serves as a critical precursor for depositing high-quality bismuth-containing thin films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the electronics, photovoltaics, and advanced materials sectors seeking reliable, high-performance metal-organic sources.

Application

• Thin Film Deposition: A key precursor for Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃) and other bismuth-containing films.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Used in the fabrication of ferroelectric materials, capacitors, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).
• Optical Coatings: Enables the production of thin films for optical devices, sensors, and anti-reflective coatings.
• Photovoltaic Research: Investigated as a precursor for bismuth-based layers in next-generation solar cells and photoelectrochemical devices.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts for organic transformations.
• Specialty Glass & Ceramics: Used to introduce bismuth into glass formulations and advanced ceramic materials to modify their electrical or optical properties.

Quality Control

Our Bismuth Hexafluoropentanedionate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for demanding electronic applications. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your technical specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Keep away from strong acids and strong bases.
