C.-R. Chen and H.-M. Gau

Abstract: In the title compound, [Al(C₆H₅)₃(C₄H₈O)], the Al atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The C-Al-C angles range from 113.25 (7) to 116.27 (8)°, much larger than the O-Al-C angles, which range from 103.39 (7) to 103.90 (6)°. The tetrahydrofuran ring adopts an envelope conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H interactions.
