Description

Bis(n-Propylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is a highly versatile organometallic compound, specifically a zirconocene dichloride derivative, that serves as a critical precursor and catalyst in advanced material synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a highly active and selective catalyst component for olefin polymerization and other organometallic transformations. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of polyolefin catalysis, specialty polymer development, and advanced material science, where precise control over molecular structure is paramount.

Application

• Catalyst Component for Polyolefin Production: A key precursor for single-site catalysts (e.g., metallocenes) used in the production of polyethylene and polypropylene with tailored properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Fine Chemicals: Acts as a reagent or catalyst in specialized organic transformations, including asymmetric synthesis and C-H activation reactions.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development of novel zirconium-based materials, thin films, and coatings via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques.
• Co-catalyst Systems: Employed in conjunction with activators like methylaluminoxane (MAO) to form highly active catalytic systems for polymerization.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Serves as a fundamental building block in research laboratories for exploring new catalytic processes and organometallic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Bis(n-Propylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, elemental analysis, and chromatographic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
