Abstract

The reaction of AlMe3 with 5,6-benzo[f]quinoline gave the Lewis acid-base adduct Me3Al-BQ, (BQ = benzo[f]quinoline) {(benzo[f]quinoline-N)trimethylaluminium, [Al(CH3)3(C13H9N)]}, with an Al-N bond length of 2.057 (2) A. This adduct is much less air and water sensitive than the trialkyl metal. The complex was found to be a discrete 1:1 molecular adduct of trimethyl­aluminium bonded to BQ. The compound contains a tetracoordinate Al atom with distorted tetrahedral geometry.
