Holmium acetylacetonate

Holmium acetylacetonate is a coordination compound with the formula Ho(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>. This anhydrous acetylacetonate complex is often discussed but unlikely to exist per se. The 8-coordinated dihydrate Ho(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>7</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub> is a more plausible formula based on the behavior of other lanthanide acetylacetonates. The dihydrate has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Attempts to dehydrate other lanthanide acetylacetonates results in decomposition.
