Description

Bis(Methylcyclopentadienyl)(Methyl)(Methoxy)Zirconium(IV) is a highly reactive organometallic compound belonging to the class of zirconocene derivatives. This compound serves as a critical catalyst precursor and chemical intermediate in advanced material synthesis and polymerization processes. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of olefin polymerization, thin-film deposition (CVD/ALD), and the development of novel zirconium-based ceramic materials.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor for Polyolefins: Used in the synthesis of single-site catalysts (metallocenes) for the production of high-performance polyethylene and polypropylene with controlled molecular weight and tacticity.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Acts as a volatile zirconium source for depositing high-purity zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) or zirconium carbide (ZrC) thin films in semiconductor and protective coating applications.
• Organic Synthesis & Ligand Chemistry: Employed as a versatile reagent for constructing complex organozirconium complexes and facilitating carbon-carbon bond formation reactions.
• Material Science Research: A key starting material for developing novel zirconium-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), ceramics, and nanocomposites.
• Specialty Polymerization: Facilitates the copolymerization of ethylene with specialty monomers to create polymers with unique optical or mechanical properties.
