Ferric oleate (Cat No.: M049588) is a metal-organic compound consisting of iron(III) (ferric) ions complexed with oleic acid, a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid. It typically appears as a dark, viscous liquid or paste and is soluble in organic solvents. Ferric oleate is widely used as a precursor in nanomaterial synthesis, especially for producing iron oxide nanoparticles via thermal decomposition. It is also employed in catalysis, coatings, and printing inks, where its hydrophobicity and metal content enhance performance in chemical, electronic, and magnetic applications.
