The crystal and molecular structure of (^tBu)₃AlP(ⁿPr)₃ has been determined. The Al(1)?P(1) bond distance [2.594(3) Å] is slightly longer than other aluminum-phosphine complexes; however, the geometry about aluminum is similar to that of the [AlCl(^tBu)₃]^? anion, suggesting that the geometry about the aluminum in tri-tert-butylaluminum complexes is defined by the size of thetert-butyl ligands and not as a consequence of the steric bulk of the Lewis base.

The cobalt atom is 5-coordinate in an essentially square pyramidal arrangement with the basal plane defined bytrans bidentate oximato ligands between which are strong hydrogen bonds. The nitrosyl group occupies the apical position, and the Co-N-O angles and the N-O bond lengths are 116(2)° and 1.48(3) Å ([Co(NO)(salox)₂]), and 123.4(3)° and 1.070(5) Å ([Co(NO)(5-Clsalox)₂]). The more acute angle and unusually long N-O bond of [Co(NO)(salox)₂] may be due to disorder and/or an interaction between the NO oxygen atom and one of the oxime groups.
