Abstract: | The molecular structure of (CH3)3AlO(CH3)2 has been determined by gas phase electron diffraction. The main molecular parameters are AlC = 1.973(11), AlO = 2.014(14), OC = 1.436(3) Å, OAlC = 98.7(1.5), AlOC = 122.6 (0.5) and COC = 114.5(1.7)°. The OC bond distance and the COC valence angle are significantly larger than those in free dimethyl ether. The three valencies of the oxygen atom appear to lie in one plane. It is suggested that the planarity of the oxygen atom is due to across-angle repulsion Al?C(O). |
