Gallium acetylacetonate, also referred to as Ga(acac)₃, is a coordination complex with formula Ga(C₅H₇O₂)₃. This gallium complex with three acetylacetonate ligands is used in research. The molecule has D₃ symmetry, being isomorphous with other octahedral tris(acetylacetonate)s.[1]

Uses

Gallium oxide thin films can be produced by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) by combining gallium acetylacetonate with either water or ozone as the precursor.[2] Ga(acac)₃ can also be used for low temperature growth of high purity gallium nitride nano-wires and nano-needles.[3][4]

gollark: With the same hashing algorithm and same format, or...?

gollark: That's actually one of the best ways to put it if you want people to spend several seconds wondering "what?".

gollark: Also also, "convention over configuration" being stupid. Yes, the choice of four spaces vs two isn't too significant, but being able to choose means you'll have code you can possibly read a bit more easily, and also public/privateness via *capitalization* just (in my opinion) looks ugly and is annoying if you want to change privacy.

gollark: i.e. generic slices/maps/channels but not actual generics, == being ***maaaaagic*** (admittedly like in most languages, I think), and `make`/`new`.

gollark: Also, as well as that, how it just special-cases stuff instead of implementing reusable solutions.
