Scandium acetylacetonate is the coordination complex with the formula Sc(C5H7O2)3 where [C5H7O2]− refers to acetylacetonate. It is a volatile white solid that is soluble in benzene. The complex features Sc(III) with octahedral molecular geometry.[1] It was first prepared by treating scandium nitrate with acetylacetone in the presence of ammonia.[2]
