Abstract

Aluminium tris(ethyl acetoacetate), Al(C6H9O3)3 has been prepared and characterized by means of 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). It was determined that two stereoisomeric complexes can be distinguished in the solution: meridional and facial. The crystal structure of Al(C6H9O3)3 has been determined from XRPD data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n.
