Abstract: The title complex, [Al₂(CH₃)₄(C₁₅H₁₁O)₂], is dimeric bridged through the O atoms of the 9-anthracenemethanolate anions. Each Al atom is tetracoordinated by two bridging O atoms from two different 9-anthracenemethanolate ligands and by two C atoms from two methyl groups, forming a distorted tetrahedral environment. The average Al-O bond distance in the Al₂O₂ core is 1.845 Å.
