Diketone Ligands (79)

Diketone ligands are organic molecules that feature two carbonyl groups (C=O) along with two alkyl or aryl substituents. These ligands are extensively utilized in transition metal catalysis, coordination chemistry, and materials science due to their ability to form stable coordination complexes with metal centers. Their significant chemical and physical properties enable them to stabilize metal centers by coordinating through their carbonyl groups, resulting in metal-ligand complexes with unique structures and functionalities.
