The first perfluoroacetylacetonate metal complexes: as unexpectedly robust as tricky to make.
First metal complexes containing the perfluoroacetylacetonato ligand have been prepared by the reaction of anhydrous Ln(OAc)3 (Ln = Eu, Tb, Tm) with heptafluoroacetylacetone, optionally in the presence of other ligands Ph3PO, bpy, and PyO.
