Chapter 19, Problem 19.88(choose chapter or problem)
A compound related to acetylacetone is 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone (abbreviated Htfa): B CF3CCH2CCH3 O O B Htfa forms complexes in a manner similar to acetylacetone. (See Exercise 43.) Both Be21 and Cu21 form complexes with tfa2 having the formula M(tfa)2. Two isomers are formed for each metal complex. a. The Be21 complexes are tetrahedral. Draw the two isomers of Be(tfa)2. What type of isomerism is exhibited by Be(tfa)2? b. The Cu21 complexes are square planar. Draw the two isomers of Cu(tfa)2. What type of isomerism is exhibited by Cu(tfa)2?
