Answer: The acetylacetone ion forms very stable complexes

Chapter , Problem 73AE

(choose chapter or problem)

The acetylacetone ion forms very stable complexes with many metallic ions. It acts as a bidentate ligand, coordinating to the metal at two adjacent positions. Suppose that one of the \(C H_{3}\) groups of the ligand is replaced by a \(C H_{3}\) group, as shown here:

Sketch all possible isomers for the complex with three tfac ligands on cobalt(Ⅲ). (You can use the symbolto represent the ligand.)
