Bis[-2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methylphenolato]bis[dimethylaluminium(III)]

C.-Y. Li, C.-H. Lin and B.-T. Ko

Abstract: The title complex, [Al₂(CH₃)₄(C₁₃H₁₀N₃O)₂], is dimeric, bridged through the O atoms of the phenolate anions. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the molecule and there is a crystallographic inversion centre in this molecule. Each Al atom is pentacoordinated by one N atom and two bridging O atoms of two N,O-bidentate benzotriazolylphenolate ligands and by two C atoms from two methyl groups, forming a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment.
