Description

Lanthanum Acetylacetonate Hydrate is a coordination compound where lanthanum is chelated by acetylacetonate ligands, commonly supplied as a hydrate. This material is valued as a high-purity precursor for synthesizing advanced inorganic materials, particularly lanthanum-containing oxides and thin films. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of catalysis, electronics, and specialty glass production who require a reliable source of well-defined lanthanum complexes.

Application

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A critical precursor for depositing high-k dielectric lanthanum oxide (La₂O₃) thin films in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Used as a starting material for preparing homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformations and petroleum refining.
• Sol-Gel Processing: Serves as a metal-organic precursor for the synthesis of lanthanum-doped ceramics, glasses, and nanomaterials via sol-gel routes.
• Phosphors and Luminescent Materials: Acts as a dopant source in the production of phosphors for lighting, displays, and imaging applications.
• Polymer Additives: Can be utilized as a cross-linking agent or stabilizer in specialized polymer formulations.
• Research & Development: A key reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new lanthanum-based materials and coordination chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Lanthanum Acetylacetonate Hydrate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
