How are the isomers of tris(acetylacetonato) chromium(III)?

In summary, the isomers of tris(acetylacetonato) chromium(III) are the meridional and facial isomers. The meridional isomer has the three acetylacetonate ligands arranged in a meridional plane, while the facial isomer has the ligands arranged in a facial plane. The meridional isomer has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry, and the facial isomer exhibits optical activity due to its asymmetric arrangement of ligands. Both isomers can be synthesized by reacting chromium(III) chloride with excess acetylacetone in the presence of a base, followed by purification.
