Copper Acetylacetonate CAS 13395-16-9

1. Copper(II) acetylacetonate is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, promoting reactions such as the formation of 4H-chromenes, cyclopropanation, and various cross-coupling and oxidation reactions .
2. Copper(II) acetylacetonate CAS 13395-16-9 serves as a precursor for synthesizing copper nanoparticles and for depositing copper oxide thin films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and sol-gel processes, which are essential for gas sensors and photovoltaic devices .
3. Copper(II) acetylacetonate is utilized in materials science to create metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and in academic research as a model compound for studying Jahn-Teller distortion in coordination chemistry .

1. Store Copper(II) acetylacetonate in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, protected from light and ideally stored below +30°C or under nitrogen .
2. Keep Copper(II) acetylacetonate CAS 13395-16-9 strictly away from strong oxidizing agents, as it is incompatible with these materials .
3. Handle Copper(II) acetylacetonate using appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, and avoid dust formation and inhalation .

1. Isolate the spill area, wear full protective equipment including a suitable respirator, and avoid dust generation .
2. Sweep up spilled Copper(II) acetylacetonate CAS 13395-16-9 using spark-proof tools into sealed, labeled containers for disposal, and prevent entry into drains or waterways .
3. Personnel cleaning Copper(II) acetylacetonate spills must dispose of waste according to environmental regulations, as Copper(II) acetylacetonate is toxic to aquatic life .

1. Copper(II) acetylacetonate is classified with GHS signal word "Warning" and is harmful if swallowed (H302, mouse intraperitoneal LD50 19 mg/kg), in contact with skin (H312), or if inhaled (H332) .
2. Copper(II) acetylacetonate CAS 13395-16-9 causes skin irritation (H315), serious eye irritation (H319), may cause respiratory irritation (H335), and is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child (H361) .
3. Copper(II) acetylacetonate has a melting point of 284-288°C (decomposes), a flash point of 160°C, and its combustion produces toxic fumes including carbon oxides and copper oxides .
