Tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) is the coordination complex with the formula Co(C₅H₇O₂)₃. Often abbreviated Co(acac)₃, it is a green, diamagnetic solid that is soluble in organic solvents, but not in water. Owing to its solubility in organic solvents, tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) is used to produce homogeneous catalysts by reduction.^[1]
