Diethylzinc (DEZ) is a highly reactive organozinc compound, supplied as a colorless pyrophoric liquid — either neat (high purity) or as a standard solution in hexane, heptane or toluene. It is a key zinc precursor for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), a p-type doping agent for III–V compound semiconductors, an efficient co-catalyst in Ziegler–Natta and coordination polymerization, and a versatile organozinc reagent in organic synthesis.
XG Chem supplies diethylzinc in research to commercial quantities, packed under inert gas with full dangerous-goods documentation. Electronic-grade material with ICP-MS metallic impurity data (COA per batch) is available on request.
Form | Specification | Typical Packing |
Neat diethylzinc | 2N / 3N / 4N / 6N — 99% / 99.9% / 99.99% / 99.9999% | Sealed stainless-steel cylinder / ampoule, under inert gas |
Solution in hexane | 15 ± 0.5 wt % (other concentrations available) | Sealed bottle / 25 L drum, nitrogen-blanketed |
Solution in toluene / heptane | per agreed specification | Sealed bottle / drum, nitrogen-blanketed |
Every batch is supplied with a COA; metallic impurity analysis by ICP-MS is provided for electronic-grade material. Samples for lab evaluation are available.
MOCVD / ALD precursor – zinc source for ZnSe, ZnO, CdTe and other II–VI thin films in optoelectronics
Semiconductor doping – p-type dopant for GaAs, InGaP and III–V compound semiconductor epitaxy
Polymerization catalyst – co-catalyst in Ziegler–Natta and coordination polymerization systems
Organic synthesis – organozinc reagent for C–C bond formation and asymmetric additions to carbonyls
Nanomaterials – precursor for ZnO nanoparticles and functional nanomaterial synthesis
Pyrophoric — ignites spontaneously on contact with air. All packagings are inert-gas sealed; handle only by trained personnel under nitrogen/argon with proper equipment
Sealed stainless-steel cylinders, ampoules, Schlenk-type bottles or nitrogen-blanketed drums depending on form and quantity
Store in a cool, dark, dry place away from oxidizers, water and heat sources
