Instead of a dimeric structure, which is very common for these types of compounds, a monomeric molecular structure is observed. The C—Al—C angles in the molecule are very different from the C—Al—C angles found in dimeric molecular structures, leading to a different symmetry around the AlIII atom. The reasons for these differences are discussed.enActa Cryst.
