This critical review deals with the chemistry and applications of metal alkanoates with medium size (C5 to C12) carbon chain length. A particular emphasis is given to metal 2-ethylhexanoates, which find wide applications as metal-organic precursors in materials science, as catalysts for ring opening polymerizations and also in painting industries for their properties as driers. After a brief introduction and an overview of synthesis, structural and physico-chemical properties, this article discuses extensively the applications of these compounds in materials science. Finally, it identifies and signifies the areas for future research in the looking ahead section. The aim of this review is to bridge the areas of precursor's chemistry and materials science by providing a reference text for researchers working either in or at the interface of these two areas (125 references).
这篇批判性综述探讨了碳链长度为中等尺寸（C5至C12）的金属链烷酸盐的化学性质及其应用。特别强调了2-乙基己酸金属盐，它们作为金属有机前驱体在材料科学中有着广泛应用，可作为开环聚合的催化剂，并且因其作为干燥剂的特性在涂料工业中也有应用。在简要介绍并概述了其合成方法、结构和物理化学性质之后，本文广泛讨论了这些化合物在材料科学中的应用。最后，在展望部分确定并指出了未来研究的领域。本综述的目的是通过为在这两个领域工作或处于这两个领域交叉点的研究人员提供参考文本，来架起前驱体化学和材料科学这两个领域之间的桥梁（参考文献125篇）。
