“…The β-diketonate complexes thus formed have been the topic of hundreds of papers and reviews [1][2][3][4][5], and widely used in a lot of aspects in industry, such as organic electroluminescent technology, luminescent materials, sensors for bioinorganic applications, luminescent labels in bioaffinity assays [1,2], NMR shift reagents [6][7][8], laser chelates [9,10], extraction agents [11][12][13], heat stabilizers for polymers, drugs [14,15], chemical and photochemical catalysts [16]. Moreover, they are used in manufacturing supra-conductors [17,18] and gas chromatography [19,20]. A few papers have also appeared in which β-diketones have been shown to act as neutral ligands by establishing a coordinative interaction with the metal cation [21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
