Oleylamine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

beige paste or powder

Uses

oleamine is an anti-static agent that can be synthetically manufactured or naturally derived.

Uses

Oleylamine is a long-chain primary alkylamine broadly used in the synthesis of metallic nanostructures. A variety of metallic nanostructures including Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, and their alloy has been synthesized in the presence of oleylamine. It has several important functions in the synthesis of metallic nanostructure. Oleylamine can simultaneously function as a solvent for the reaction mixture and stabilizing agent for metallic nanostructures. In addition, oleylamine has a boiling point of 364 °C; therefore, it can be used to synthesize metallic nanostructures at high temperatures.

Uses

Used in the chemical synthesis and capping of nanoparticles such as Fe₃O_4, poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-graft-poly (ε-caprolactone), titania, mesoporous silica.

General Description

Oleylamine (OAm) is a long chain primary alkyamine, that acts as an electron donor at elevated temperatures. OAm exhibits affinity to metals through NH₂ functional groups. FTIR spectra of OAm has been reported. Oleylamine acts as strong reducing agent as well as a stabilizer in the synthesis of nanoparticle.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
