“…Since the enolic hydrogen is labile, it can be replaced by a metal cation to form a six-member chelate ring. 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].…”
