General description

Nickel(II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac)₂) is a high-purity, air-stable organometallic complex widely used as a catalyst and precursor in advanced material synthesis. Its chelated structure provides excellent solubility in organic solvents and thermal stability, making it suitable for solution and vapor deposition processes. Ni(acac)₂ is used in the fabrication of energy materials, nanostructures, and functional coatings. Its versatility and reactivity enable applications in catalysis, electronic materials, and the synthesis of high-performance inorganic compounds.

Application

Nickel(II) acetylacetonate can be used as:
  • A precursor in sol-gel and hydrothermal processes to synthesize nickel oxide (NiO) nanostructures and thin films, which are widely applied in catalysis, energy storage (supercapacitors, batteries), and gas sensors.
  • A precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) of nickel-containing films, enabling the fabrication of high-purity, uniform coatings for electronic and magnetic devices.
  • A catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic transformations and electrocatalysis, such as hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and CO₂ reduction reactions, due to its ability to generate highly active nickel species under reaction conditions.
  • A precursor to synthesize Ni-based nanomaterials such as NiO/C nanocomposite and crystalline NiO nanoparticles via different synthetic methods like non-isothermal decomposition and solvothermal method.
  • A precursor to prepare Ni catalysts such as Nickel(II) complexes, and hierarchical Ni/beta catalysts for various organictransformations.
  • A catalyst to promote Michael additions.

Features and Benefits

  • High Purity and Stability: Available in high-purity grades and exhibits excellent thermal and chemical stability
  • Solubility: Soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, enhancing its versatility in various synthesis and deposition processes
  • User-Friendly Handling: Its solubility and stability simplify storage, handling, and integration into various chemical processes

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
