Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of [(tBu)2Al(μ-Cl)]2 has been determined. The bond lengths and geometry about aluminum are similar to that in [Me2Al(μ-Cl)]2 and [(Mes)2Al(μ-Cl)]2 suggesting that the geometry about the aluminum is defined by the steric repulsion between the alkyl groups on adjacent aluminum centers and not steric congestion between ligands on individual aluminum centers. Crystal data: Triclinic,\(P\bar 1\),a=6.514(1),b=8.628(2),c-11.236(2)c=11.236(2) Å, α=102.05(3), β=105.32(3), γ=103.47(3)°,V=567.2(3) Å3,Z=1,R=0.063,R w =0.067.
