bis(n,n'-di-tert-butylacetamidinato)iron(ii)(CAS: 635680-56-7)

Bis(n,n'-di-tert-butylacetamidinato)iron(II) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 400 g/mol. It has low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. It is relatively stable under normal conditions but can react with strong acids or bases. It is used as a catalyst precursor in organic synthesis.

Bis(n,n'-di-tert-butylacetamidinato)iron(II) can be synthesized via the reaction of iron(II) acetate with N,N'-di-tert-butylacetamide. Commonly, this involves a multistep process including purification and characterization steps to ensure high yield and selectivity.

Bis(n,n'-di-tert-butylacetamidinato)iron(II) is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a precursor for complexing metal ions, in polymer synthesis for controlled polymerization, and in the development of sensors and semiconductors for their catalytic properties.

When handling bis(n,n'-di-tert-butylacetamidinato)iron(II), appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat should be used. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate absorbents. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
