Aluminium acetylacetonate


Aluminium acetylacetonate, also referred to as Al3, is a coordination complex with formula Al3. 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 triss.

Uses

Aluminium acetylacetonate can be used as the precursor to crystalline aluminium oxide films using low-pressure metal organic chemical vapour deposition. It horticulture it can also be used as a molluscicide.
