Iron (III) acetylacetonate is a chemical compound of iron from the group of acetylacetonates .

Extraction and presentation

Iron (III) acetylacetonate can be produced by reacting iron (III) hydroxide with acetylacetone .

properties

Sample of iron (III) acetylacetonate

Iron (III) acetylacetonate is a dark red solid that is sparingly soluble in water.

Its red solution turns yellow above 50 ° C and iron (III) hydroxide precipitates when it is boiled.

use

Iron (III) acetylacetonate can be used in Grignard reactions for aryl-alkyl couplings.

The compound can also be used for the production of (Zn, Fe) Fe ₂ O ₄ layers and measurements of the magnetic properties of these layers, as well as a precursor for the synthesis of water-soluble magnetite nanoparticles, which can be used in the field of magnetic hyperthermia treatment .

It also serves as a catalyst for the curing of polyurethanes in propellants and explosives.
