Vanadyl acetylacetonate
open-in-new
<p>Vanadyl acetylacetonate is the <a href="/facts/Chemical_compound/37FXqqtv">chemical compound</a> with the <a href="/facts/Chemical_formula/hghUtthl">formula</a> VO(acac)2, where acac– is the conjugate base of <a href="/facts/Acetylacetone/Ku1k97xz">acetylacetone</a>. It is a blue-green solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents. The <a href="/facts/Complex_(chemistry)/1tCyeQUm">coordination complex</a> consists of the <a href="/facts/Vanadyl_ion/Guma1f7r">vanadyl</a> group, VO2+, bound to two acac– ligands via the two oxygen atoms on each. Like other charge-neutral <a href="/facts/Acetylacetonate_complex/xfs1jkzy">acetylacetonate complexes</a>, it is not soluble in water. </p>
