[en] The heat capacity of Ir(C₅H₇O₂)₃ has been measured by the adiabatic method within the temperature range (5 to 305) K. The thermodynamic functions (entropy, enthalpy, and reduced Gibbs free energy) at 298.15 K have been calculated using the obtained experimental heat capacity data. A connection has been found between the entropy and the volume of the elementary crystalline cell for β-acetylacetonates of some metals. The reasons for this interdependence are discussed. The values of entropies at T = 298.15 K have been calculated for all the metal acetylacetonates on which there are structural data
