metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [ZrCl(C15H11O2)3], contains three 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato, or dibenzoylmethanate, ligands arranged as propeller blades around the C3 Zr-Cl axis to give a chiral molecule. The centrosymmetric space group contains a racemic mixture of left and right-handed propellers. The coordination geometry around the seven-coordinate Zr metal atom is a capped octahedron.
