General description

Zirconium(IV) propoxide solution (commonly referred to as zirconium(IV) tetrapropoxide or zirconium(IV) n-propoxide) is a clear, very pale yellow liquid composed of approximately 70% zirconium(IV) propoxide dissolved in 1-propanol. It serves as a precursor in solution and vapor deposition processes, particularly in the preparation of zirconia-based materials and thin films. Its solubility in organic solvents and volatility make it suitable for sol-gel synthesis and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. It is also used as an inorganic catalyst in organic synthesis, benefiting from zirconium′s Lewis acidic properties.

Application

Zirconium(IV) propoxide solution is a metal alkoxide solution that is highly reactive with water. It can be used as a precursor material for the synthesis of zirconium oxide thin films by atmospheric pressure electrospray. Zirconium(IV) propoxide can also be used in the preparation of stable sols for potential usage in optical, electronic and magnetic applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Volatile Precursor: Ideal for vapor-phase deposition techniques such as CVD and ALD.
  • High Concentration: Contains 70 wt.% Zirconium(IV) propoxide in 1-propanol for efficient delivery of active zirconium.
  • Ready-to-Use Solution: Pre-dissolved in 1-propanol, offering convenience and ease of handling.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
