Hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, barium salt (2:1)

Description:

Hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, barium salt (2:1), also known as barium 2-ethylhexanoate, is an organometallic compound characterized by its barium cation and the anionic form of 2-ethylhexanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. It is often used as a stabilizer or additive in various industrial applications, including plastics and coatings, due to its ability to enhance thermal stability and improve processing characteristics. The presence of the barium ion contributes to its properties, making it useful in catalysis and as a precursor in the synthesis of other barium-containing compounds. Safety considerations include handling precautions due to potential toxicity associated with barium compounds, which can pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, barium salt (2:1) is valued for its functional properties in chemical formulations and industrial processes.

Barium 2-ethylhexanoate

CAS: 2457-01-4

Barium 2-ethylhexanoate is a perovskite compound. It has been shown to be ferroelectric, which means it can be switched from an insulator to a conductor with the application of an electric field. This material has also been shown to have excellent optical properties and an optimal reaction temperature of approximately 150°C. The crystallization process for this material requires deionized water and an organic solvent such as ethylene diamine. Barium 2-ethylhexanoate is most commonly formed by the reaction of fatty acids with alkanoic acid or their esters.
