Dimethyl(acetylacetonate)gold(III)

Technical Notes:

1. Highly volatile gold source for M CVD applications. Must ship overnight in dry ice.

2. Precursor for synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Au/ZrO2 and Au/Al¿O3 prepared in this way were extremely efficient catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of glucose.
