Infobox references

Aluminium acetylacetonate, also referred to as Al(acac)₃, is a coordination complex with formula Al(C₅H₇O₂)₃. This aluminium complex with three acetylacetone ligands is used in research on Al-containing materials. The molecule has D₃ 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.
