Abstract
The methylated compounds [(AIMe)(6)(AINMe(3))(2)(CCH2Ph)(6)] (4), [(AlMe)(6)(AINMe(3))(2)(CCH2CH2SiMe3)(6)] (5) and [(Al-Me)(6)(NCH2C4H3S)(6)] (6) were synthesized in good yields from the corresponding hydride derivatives by treatment with AlMe3 in toluene. The X-ray single crystal structures of 4(.)XC(7)H(8), 4(.)4C(7)H(8) and 6 were determined. In 4(.)XC(7)H(8) the solvent molecules are arranged in infinite channels along the c axis.
