Abstract: The title dinuclear compound, bis[-6,6'-di-tert-butyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2-(ethylenedithio)diphenolato]bis[methylaluminium(I)], [Al₂(CH₃)₂(C₂₄H₃₂O₂S₂)] or [AlMe(etbmp)]₂ [where etbmpH₂ is 6,6'-di-tert-butyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2- (ethylenedithio)diphenol], was obtained by reaction of trimethylaluminum with etbmpH₂, as shown by X-ray diffraction of a single crystal. The molecule possesses a crystallographic twofold axis.
