Product Detail
Name: Oleylamine
CAS: 112-90-3; 1838-19-3
Feature:
Oleylamine is an anti-static agent that can be synthetically manufactured or naturally derived. 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.
Oleylamine is an organic compound with a molecular formula C18H35NH2. It is an unsaturated fatty amine related to the fatty acid oleic acid. The pure compound is a clear and colorless liquid. Commercially available oleylamine reagents vary in color from clear and colorless to varying degrees of yellow due to impurities. The major impurities include trans isomer (elaidylamine) and other long chain amines with varying chain lengths. Minor impurities include oxygen-containing substances such as amides and nitroalkanes.
Oleylamine has the following applications/functions:
1. Commercially, oleylamine is mainly used as a surfactant or precursor to surfactants.
2. Oleylamine has also been used in the laboratory in the synthesis of nanoparticles. It can function both as a solvent for the reaction mixture and as a coordinating agent to stabilize the surface of the particles. It can also coordinate with metal ions, change the form of metal precursor and affect the formation kinetics of nanoparticles during the synthesis.
3. Oleylamine is used in the chemical synthesis and capping of nanoparticles such as Fe3O4, poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-graft-poly (ε-caprolactone), titania, mesoporous silica.
4. Oleylamine acts as an electron donor at elevated temperatures. Oleylamine 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.
