A crystal structure analysis of dimethylphenyl-aluminium shows that the phenyl groups, which are in the bridging positions, are distorted from a regular hexagonal shape in a way similar to those in triphenyl-aluminium, and that whilst one third of the molecules are centrosymmetric with a planar central ring, the remainder are folded about the Al–Al line by an angle of 14°.
