“…Solvent extraction of aqueous solutions of copper, iron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and scandium with an organic solution of trifluoroacetylacetone has been successfully employed to prepare solutions suitable for injection into a gas chromatograph (3,5,6,11,12). Beryllium acetylacetonate can also be eluted from a gas-liquid chromatographic column (1). Beryllium trifluoroacetylacetonate, however, is more volatile than beryllium acetylacetonate and consequently can be eluted at lower column temperatures (13).…”
