Used as a precursor in the synthesis of calcium-containing thin films and nanomaterials through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Its high volatility and thermal stability make it suitable for depositing calcium oxide (CaO) or doped metal oxides in electronic and optical coatings. Also employed in research for creating luminescent materials and catalysts due to its ability to form complexes with controlled stoichiometry. Its chelated structure enhances solubility in organic solvents, enabling use in solution-based processing of functional materials.
