The acetylacetone ion forms very stable complexes with many metallic ions. It acts as a bidentate ligand, coordi- nating to the metal at two adjacent positions. Suppose that one of the CH3 groups of the ligand is replaced by a CF; group, as shown here: н Trifluoromethyl acetylacetonate CF-Ç (ffac) C-CH3 :Ö: :0: Sketch all possible isomers for the complex with three tfac ligands on cobalt(III). (You can use the symbol to repre- sent the ligand.)
