Barium acetate
Barium acetate (CAS 543-80-6), with the linear formula (CH₃COO)₂Ba and a molecular weight of 255.42 g/mol, is an inorganic salt supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. This white crystalline powder serves as a key reagent in chemical synthesis and materials science. Its properties make it suitable for applications requiring a source of barium ions, particularly in the preparation of other barium compounds and in specialised industrial processes.
Chemical Synthesis
Barium acetate is utilised as a precursor in the synthesis of various barium-containing compounds and catalysts. It can be employed in organic reactions as a mild base or a source of barium for specific transformations.
Materials Science
This compound finds application in materials science for the preparation of advanced materials, including ceramics and certain types of glasses. It is also used in the development of barium titanate and other dielectric materials.
Solution Deposition Precursors
Barium acetate can serve as a precursor in solution deposition techniques for creating thin films and coatings. Its solubility allows for the formation of uniform layers when processed correctly.
Textile Industry
Historically, barium acetate has been used as a mordant in the textile industry, aiding in the fixation of dyes onto fabrics. This application leverages its ability to interact with both fibres and colouring agents.
