“…The IR spectrum and melting point of the compound (163-164°C) were found to be in excellent agreement with those in the literature. [40,21] Iron(III) 1,1,1-Trifluoro-2,4-pentanedioneate (2): 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione (10.00 g, 0.0648 mol), iron(III) chloride (3.70 g, 0.0216 mol) and sodium acetate (8.80 g, 0.0648 mol) were dissolved in a 50:50 ethanol/water mixture (50 mL). The solution was heated to 60°C for 1 h with stirring.…”
