title: Tetra-kis(1,3-diphenyl-propane-1,3-dionato)hafnium(IV).
abstract: In the title compound, [Hf(C(15)H(11)O(2))(4)], the Hf(IV) atom is coordinated by four 1,3-diphenyl-propane-1,3-dionato ligands with an average Hf-O distance of 2.17 (3) Å and O-Hf-O bite angles varying from 74.5 (1) to 75.02 (9)°. The coordination polyhedron shows a slightly distorted Archimedean square-anti-prismatic geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.
