American Elements: Sodium Acetylacetonate Supplier & Tech Info

Sodium Acetylacetonate is a Sodium source that is soluble in organic solvents. The acetylacetonate anion complexes by bonding each oxygen atom to the metallic cation to form a chelate ring. Because of this property, Sodium Acetylacetonate is commonly used in various catalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered. Sodium Acetylacetonate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds sold by American Elements under the tradename AE Organo-Metallics™ for uses requiring non-aqueous solubility such as recent solar energy and water treatment applications. Similar results can sometimes also be achieved with Nanoparticles (also see Nanotechnology and Quantum Dots) and by thin film deposition. Note American Elements additionally supplies many materials as solutions. The numerous commercial applications for Sodium include the production of chemical esters and in the manufacturing of various other organic compounds. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.

Sodium is a Block S, Group 1, Period 3 element. The electronic configuration is [Ne] 3s¹. In its elemental form sodium's CAS number is 7440-23-5. The sodium atom has a radius of 185.8.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 227.pm.
