The crystal structure and properties of [1,3,5-C6H3(CO2Me)3·3AlCl3]
摘要:
The direct reaction of AlCl3 with trimethyl 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate in dichloromethane gives the colourless crystalline complex formulated as [1,3,5-C6H3(CO2Me)3 . 3AlCl3]. The crystal structure of this compound has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction methods. Each aluminium atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by three chlorine atoms and one carbonyl oxygen atom of the 1,3,5-C6H3(CO2Me)3 molecule, so each ester molecule is bonded to three AlCl3 moieties.
