High-Purity Ruthenium(III) Acetylacetonate from Aure Chemical – Your Trusted Source
Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate, Ru(acac)₃ or tris(acetylacetonato)ruthenium(III), CAS No. 14284-93-6, is a highly valued organometallic ruthenium(III) complex prized for its volatility, thermal stability, and clean decomposition profile. Supplied by Aure Chemical as dark red to maroon crystalline powder with high ruthenium content (approximately 24–25% Ru), this air-stable, neutral 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 widely used to deposit high-purity ruthenium films, prepare supported Ru catalysts, synthesize organometallic complexes, and produce ruthenium nanoparticles or functional materials for electronics, fuel cells, catalysis research, and advanced coatings. Aure Chemical delivers stringent purity control, low residual impurities, and secure ruthenium sourcing to ensure reproducible deposition and catalytic performance in cutting-edge technology and R&D applications worldwide.
