Product Name
IRON(lll) t-BUTOXIDE
Description
Iron(III) t-butoxide is a dark red solid that is soluble in nonpolar solvents such as hydrocarbons. It is primarily used as a precursor for the synthesis of other iron-containing compounds, particularly in organometallic chemistry and catalysis. It can serve as a catalyst in various organic transformations, including polymerizations, oxidations, and cross-coupling reactions.

Appearance
Yellow to green crystalline powder
Application
Iron(III) tert-butoxide was applied as a single source (both Fe and O) precursor for the deposition of nanocrystalline hematite (Fe2O3) or magnetite (Fe3O4) films by low-pressure CVD. Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 layers deposited on glass substrates were transparent to the visible light, as was determined from the absorption spectra.
