Barium isopropoxide Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Barium isopropoxide is used in nano-materials and thin Films, catalysis synthesis, ferroelectric metals. It is also used as organic intermediate.

Application

For preparation of bimetallic Ba-Nb and Ba-Zr alkoxides.[1] Asymmetric aldol reactions are promoted by a novel catalyst prepared from Ba(O-i-Pr)2.[2]
It may be used as a catalyst for one pot preparation of symmetrical 1,5-diketones.[3] Sol gel synthesis of ternary compound, Ba3 Li 2Ti8 O20 can be carried out by precursor reactants, barium isopropoxide, titanium isopropoxide and lithium acetate. [4]
