Iron(II) acetate has been used to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles which were further used to form iron oxide-poly(ethylene glycol) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs). The core-shell NPs were studied for self-assembly at liquid-liquid interfaces (SALI) forming monolayers. This product is also utilized as a mordant by the dye industry, as a catalyst in organic oxidation reactions and in carbon nanotube synthesis. See links below

Ereztech manufactures and sells this product in small and bulk volumes. Glass ampules, bottles or metal ampules or bubblers are available for packaging. For additional analytical information or details about purchasing Iron(II) acetate contact us at sales@ereztech.com
