. Can. J. Chem. 70, 771 (1992). The reaction of AIMe, with three equivalents of HOSiPh, in THF results in the formation of the solvent conlplex A1(OSiPh3)3(THF) ( I ) . Hydrolysis of 1 yields the stable water complex AI(OSiPh,)3(H20)(THF)2 (2) in which the THF molecules are hydrogen bonded to the coordinated water ligand. Compounds 1 and 2 have been fully characterized by ' H , l3C, 170, 2 7~1 , and "~i NMR and IR spectroscopy. In addition, variable temperature ' H NMR of 2 has been employed to investigate the steric interactions between the phenyl rings of adjacent siloxide ligands. The molecular structures of the solvates l. (
