Gallium Compounds
Gallium Acetylacetonate
Gallium acetylacetonate (Ga(acac)3) is an organic compound. Technically, it represents an organometallic coordination complex with gallium at the center, surrounded by three acetylacetonate ligands. When heated in the presence of oxygen, gallium acetylacetonate decomposes into gallium oxide (Ga2O3). This property makes Ga(acac)3 a useful precursor for growing highly pure and uniform Ga2O3 thin films on substrates such as glass and silicon. Ga(acac)3 is used in the production of quantum dots like Ga2S3, GaAs, GaP, and GaInP.
