It is soluble in nonpolar solvents, even more so than related complexes of acetylacetone and hexafluoroacetylacetone.
Nonpolar materials such as hydrocarbons traditionally have relatively low surface energies, however this property alone is not sufficient to achieve superhydrophobicity.
In nonpolar solvents, a range between 0.2 and 0.6 kcal/mol has been estimated, but in polar solvents the axial conformer may be more stable.
Their solubility in nonpolar solvents is relatively good, a property that is called lipophilicity.
Most lipids have some polar character in addition to being largely nonpolar.
The dyes used have to be soluble in the fuels they are added to and therefore in hydrocarbon-based nonpolar solvents (solvent dyes).
It is also needed to render nonpolar compounds polar so that they are not reabsorbed in renal tubules and are excreted.
They are widely employed catalysts because they are soluble in the nonpolar substrates, such as the alkyd resins or linseed oil.
