Chemical Properties
powder
Uses
Vanadyl acetylacetonate may be used as a precursor for the preparation of vanadium dioxide thin films for applications in “intelligent” window coating and data storage.
Uses
Vanadium(IV) Oxide Acetylacetonate is used as a catalyst in organic chemistry and is also an intermediate in synthetic reactions, such as the synthesis of novel oxovanadium complexes that display antitumor activity.
