Scandium acetylacetonate is the coordination complex with the formula Sc(C₅H₇O₂)₃ where [C₅H₇O₂] refers to acetylacetonate. It is a volatile white solid that is soluble in benzene. The complex features Sc(III) with octahedral molecular geometry. It was first prepared by treating scandium nitrate with acetylacetone in the presence of ammonia.
