The ligand name of acetylacetonate is acenaphthene. The chemical formula for acetylacetonate is often written as acac, and it is derived from acetylacetone (also known as 2,4-pentanedione). When it acts as a ligand in coordination compounds, it typically coordinates to a metal ion through its two oxygen atoms, forming a bidentate complex. The systematic name for the ligand is therefore 2,4-pentanedionato.
