The molecular structure of the title compound, [Al(CH3)2(C22H26NO)], displays a monomer with the AlIII atom in a distorted tetrahedral environment defined by two methyl groups and the N and O atoms of the chelating ketiminate anion. The O—Al—N bite angle of the chelating ligand is 94.14 (9)°. The O—C—C—C—N backbone of the ligand is nearly coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.029 Å) and the Al atom deviates significantly from the mean plane by 0.525 (3) Å. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions are observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
