Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate, Mg(CH3COO)2·4H2O, is an ideal precursor for the synthesis of antimicrobial magnesium fluoride or oxide nanoparticles due to its exceptional solubility in water (1-1.3kg/L) and methanol (5.1-5.3kg/L). It is also routinely used as an intermediate, electrolyte, catalyst and analytical reagent in wet chemistry. In biochemical applications, Mg(CH3COO)2·4H2O is used as source of magnesium ions as a precipitant in protein purification.

Exemplary uses are summarized as follows:

• Non-chloride salting out electrolyte

• MgF2 nanoparticles precursor

• Negative staining ingredient

• Magnesium oxide precursor

• deicer, replacing corrosive chloride salts

• SOx and NOx absorbent

• Precursor for solvated supramolecules such as Mg(OAc)2·(H2O)3·(EtOH), Mg3(OAc)6·2EtOH, etc.
