In the title compound, [Al(CH3)(C23H15F10N3)], the AlIII atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by three N atoms from the tridentate amine and by one C atom of the methyl substituent. Further, there is a short intramolecular Al
F contact [2.5717 (11) Å], leading to an overall distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment around AlIII.
A solution of 0.26 g (0.50 mmol) of BnN(CH2CH2NHC6F5)2 (Lermontova et al., 2009) in toluene (10 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 0.25 ml (0.50 mmol) of Me3Al in toluene (10 ml) under stirring at 243 K. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The volatiles were removed under vacuum. The residue was washed by ether (3×5 ml) and dried to give 0.24 g (86%) of BnN(CH2CH2NHC6F5)2AlMe as a white solid.

The crystals were obtained from the concentrated toluene solution under storing at 255 K for several days.
All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. [Refined C—H distances: 0.90 (2)–0.97 (3) Å for aromatic CH, 0.931 (19)–1.004 (19) Å for CH2 and 0.92 (3)–0.98 (2) Å for CH3.]

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As a part of our investigation on chemistry of germanium, tin and aluminium complexes based on tridentate ligands (Lermontova et al., 2009; Huang et al., 2011, 2012) we obtained and studied the structure of title compound, [Al[C6H5CH2N(CH2CH2NHC6F5)2](CH3)].
The aluminium centre and aromatic F18 atom form a short intramolecular contact [2.5717 (11) Å]. Of interest, F18—C18 bond length [1.359 (2) Å] is the longest among ten F—C distances in the structure. Analysis of Cambridge Structural Database (ver. 5.33, August 2012; Allen, 2002) shows that similar but somewhat longer Al···F—C contacts are observed in the structures EKIBIK (2.690 Å, Smith et al., 2010) and YADTEC (2.719 Å, Jansen & Mokros, 1992).
The Al1 atom has trigonal bipyramid coordination environment. Three equatorial positions are occupied by methyl group C10 and trigonal nitrogen atoms N1 and N2. The angles between C10, N1 and N2 atoms range within 112.86 (7)–124.64 (7)°. The aluminium atom is only slightly displaced [0.1937 (9) Å] from the plane of these ligands towards the coordinated tetrahedral donor atom N3. The N3 and F18 atoms lie in the apical positions with an N3—Al1—F18 angle equal to 152.24 (5)°. As expected, the dative N3→Al1 bond length [2.0104 (13) Å] is significantly longer than equatorial nitrogen-aluminium distances [1.8575 (14) and 1.8697 (14) Å].
