General description

Copper(II) acetylacetonate (Cu(acac)2) is an organometallic compound recognized for its low decomposition temperature of 286 °C, making it an ideal precursor for the synthesis of copper and copper oxide nanoparticles. It can be used in electronics, ceramics, and catalysis.

Application


  • Dextromethorphan as a moderator of reward deficiency: Research explored Dextromethorphan′s role in moderating reward deficiency associated with serotonin transporter availability in MDMA-treated animals, indicating its potential application in neuropsychopharmacology and addiction studies (Chiu et al., 2024).

  • Pharmacotherapies targeting GABA-Glutamate neurotransmission: A review discussed the use of Dextromethorphan among pharmacotherapies targeting GABA-glutamate neurotransmission for treatment-resistant depression, highlighting its role as an NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist (Vecera et al., 2023).

  • Experience-dependent psychological effects: A double-blind study compared the psychological effects of Dextromethorphan and Psilocybin in healthy volunteers, examining their experience-dependent and enduring impacts, relevant in clinical psychology and psychedelic research (Mathai et al., 2023).

Copper(II) acetylacetonate can be used as:
  • a precursor to synthesize copper based chalcogenides Cu2NiSnS4 CNTS nanocrystals, which are then combined with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form the core-shell structure. Resulting Au/CNTS nanocrystals serve as photoactive materials in hybrid photodetectors, demonstrating superior optoelectronic performance, such as high responsivity and specific detectivity in the visible light spectrum.
  • a precursor in the synthesis of Cu-Ga-Zn-S nanorods through a high-temperature injection method, for efficient photocatalytic water splitting.
  • a copper precursor in the one-pot synthesis of the core/shell PtCu nanoparticles. These bimetallic PtCu nanoparticles exhibit higher activity in catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction.

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
