Tris(methyl 3-oxobutanoato-κO,O')aluminium(III)
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Al(C(5)H(7)O(3))(3)], three acac-type ligands (methyl 3-oxobutanoate anions) chelate to the aluminium(III) cation in a slightly distorted AlO(6) octa-hedral coordination geometry. Electron delocalization occurs within the chelating rings.
