Infobox disclaimer and references

Hexafluoroacetylacetone is the chemical compound with the formula CF3C(O)CH2C(O)CF3. This colourless liquid is a ligand precursor and a reagent used in MOCVD. Complexes of the conjugate base, often called Hfac-, exhibit enhanced volatility and Lewis acidity relative to analogous complexes derived from acetylacetone.

This organofluorine compound was first prepared by the condensation of ethyl ester of trifluoroacetic acid and 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone.[1] It has been investigated as an etchant for copper and its complexes, such as Cu(Hfac)(trimethylvinylsilane) have been employed as precursors in microelectronics.[2]
