Volatile complexes of fluorinated β-diketonates of neodymium(III) (hexafluoroacetylacetonates with glyme and diglyme and decafluoroacetylacetonate with glyme) were studied for applicability in lowbackground Nd-containing organic liquid scintillators. The complexes were prepared in one step and purified by vacuum sublimation. The composition of complexes was determined by 1 H, 19 F, and 13 C NMR and IR spectroscopy and confirmed by elemental and functional analysis. It was shown that these adducts are suitable for the design of Nd-containing organic liquid scintillators with neodymium concentration of ~1–2 g/L.
