Usage

Chemical Properties

Basic beryllium acetate is the best known of the beryllium salts of organic acids which can be divided into normal beryllium carboxylates, Be(RCOO)2, and beryllium oxide carboxylates, Be4O(RCOO)6. The basic acetate is soluble in glacial acetic acid and can readily be crystallized therefrom in very pure form. It is also soluble in chloroform and other organic solvents. It has been used as a source of pure beryllium salts.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen. SeeBERYLLIUM COMPOUNDS. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of BeO.
