Used as a precursor in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes to produce magnesium oxide thin films, which are essential in electronics and optoelectronics. It is also employed in the synthesis of advanced materials and coatings due to its ability to form high-purity magnesium compounds. Additionally, it serves as a catalyst or co-catalyst in organic reactions, enhancing efficiency in certain chemical transformations. Its thermal stability makes it suitable for high-temperature applications in material science.
