American Elements: Manganese Acetylacetonate Supplier & Tech Info

Manganese Acetylacetonate is a Manganese 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, Manganese 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. Manganese 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 Manganese include steel production to remove sulfur and oxygen, the colorant in natural amethyst stones and is used in glass and ceramics to also create the amethyst color. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.
