Aluminium acetylacetonate

Aluminium acetylacetonate, also referred to as Al(acac)3, is a coordination complex with formula Al(C5H7O2)3. This aluminium complex with three acetylacetone ligands is used in research on Al-containing materials. The molecule has D3 symmetry, being isomorphous with other octahedral tris(acetylacetonate)s.[2]

Uses

Aluminium acetylacetonate can be used as the precursor to crystalline aluminium oxide films using low-pressure metal organic chemical vapour deposition.[3] It horticulture it can also be used as a molluscicide.[4]

gollark: Not entirely, no.
gollark: As technology improves this will probably get even more problematic as individual humans get able to throw around more energy to do things.
gollark: > A human gone rogue can be stopped easily enoughI mean, a hundred years ago, a rogue human might have had a gun or something, and could maybe shoot a few people before they were stopped. Nowadays, humans have somewhat easier access to chemical stuff and can probably get away with making bombs or whatever, while some control advanced weapons systems, and theoretically Trump and others have access to nukes.Also, I think on-demand commercial DNA printing is a thing now and with a few decades more development and some biology knowledge you could probably print smallpox or something?
gollark: You probably want to be able to improvise and stuff for emergencies, like in The Martian, and obviously need to be good at repair, but mostly those don't happen much.
gollark: "Oh no! We drove into a potatron warp! We need to reflux the hyperluminar subquantum transistors!"
