NacNac

Tautomers of a substituted HNacNac ligand precursor and an idealized complex (right) of the conjugate base (M = metal, L = other ligand)

NacNac is a class of anionic bidentate ligands. 1,3-Diketimines are often referred to as "HNacNac", a modification of the abbreviation Hacac used for 1,3-diketones. These species can exist as a mixture of tautomers.[1]
