High-Purity Platinum(II) Acetylacetonate from Aure Chemical – Your Trusted Source
Platinum(II) acetylacetonate, Pt(acac)₂ or bis(acetylacetonato)platinum(II), CAS No. 15170-57-7, is a widely used organometallic platinum(II) complex prized for its volatility, thermal stability, and clean decomposition profile. Supplied by Aure Chemical as bright yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder with high platinum content (approximately 48–49% Pt), this neutral, air-stable compound exhibits excellent solubility in organic solvents and serves as a preferred precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), and solution-based thin-film processes. It is also employed in the preparation of supported platinum catalysts, synthesis of organometallic complexes, and production of platinum nanoparticles or functional materials for electronics, catalysis, fuel cells, and advanced research. Aure Chemical delivers precise Pt assay, low impurity levels, and secure platinum sourcing to ensure reproducible, high-performance deposition and synthesis worldwide.
