Hexafluoroacetylacetone is the

MOCVD. The compound exists exclusively as the enol CF3C(OH)=CHC(O)CF3. For comparison under the same conditions, acetylacetone is 85% enol.[1]

Lewis acidity relative to analogous complexes derived from acetylacetone
. The visible spectra of bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(II) and its dehydrate have been reported in carbon tetrachloride.[2] Compounds of the type bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(II):Bn , where :B are Lewis bases such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or pyridine and n = 1 or 2, have been prepared. Since bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(II) is soluble in carbon tetrachloride, its Lewis acid properties have been studied for 1:1 adducts using a variety of Lewis bases.[3][4]

This

1,1,1-trifluoroacetone.[5] It has been investigated as an etchant for copper and its complexes, such as Cu(Hfac)(trimethylvinylsilane) have been employed as precursors in microelectronics.[6]

Being highly electrophilic, hexafluoroacetylacetone is hydrated in water to give the tetraol.[7]
