Bis(-cyclopentylamino-N:N)dimethylaluminium(III)
Abstract
Reaction of AlMe3 with NH2(C5H9) caused the evolution of methane and produced the dimeric species bis(-cyclopentylamino-N:N)bisdimethylaluminium(III), Al(CH3)2-(C5H10N)2, which was found to adopt a cis configuration of cyclopentyl groups about a bent AlNAlN ring (which has twofold crystallographic symmetry) instead of the more common trans arrangement.
