Aluminium acetylacetonate
Aluminium acetylacetonate, also referred to as Al(acac), is a coordination complex with formula Al(CHO). This aluminium complex with three acetylacetone ligands is used in research on Al-containing materials. The molecule has D symmetry, being isomorphous with other octahedral tris(acetylacetonate)s. Uses. Aluminium acetylacetonate can be used as the precursor to crystalline aluminium oxide films using low-pressure metal organic chemical vapour deposition. In horticulture it can also be used as a molluscicide.
