Iron(II) Acetylacetonate is an Iron source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound. The high purity acetylacetonate anion complexes by bonding each oxygen atom to the metallic cation to form a chelate ring, because of this property, acetylacetonates are commonly used in various catalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis, including the fabrication of various shapes of carbon nanostructures via the use of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and laser evaporation techniques. The numerous commercial applications for Iron include primary colorant in glass and ceramics, catalyst, basis for low-grade magnets and because of its magnetic properties is used extensively in memory tape.  See link below
