Description
Iridium(III) acetylacetonate (CAS: 15635-87-7) is a high-purity organometallic compound with the molecular formula C15H24IrO6. This crystalline solid is widely recognized for its role as a catalyst precursor in organic synthesis and materials science. With an iridium center coordinated by three acetylacetonate (acac) ligands, it exhibits excellent stability and solubility in organic solvents, making it ideal for homogeneous catalysis, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), and ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) applications. Its high thermal stability and well-defined coordination chemistry enable precise control in the synthesis of iridium-containing nanomaterials, OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes), and advanced coatings. Available in 97% purity, this reagent is rigorously tested to meet the stringent demands of academic and industrial research laboratories.

Iridium(III) acetylacetonate is primarily used as a precursor for iridium-based catalysts in hydrogenation, oxidation, and C–H activation reactions. It serves as a key material in the fabrication of OLEDs due to its phosphorescent properties. Additionally, it is employed in thin-film deposition techniques (CVD/ALD) for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Researchers also utilize it in the synthesis of iridium nanoparticles for fuel cell and sensor applications.
