Crystal and molecular structure of an aluminium clathrate exhibiting an unusual tertiary arrangement and an extraordinary degree of solvation

Abstract

In the course of our study of aluminium complexes, a new complex with N-salicylidene-o-aminophenol (H ₂ L) is isolated, which is unique because of its stereochemistry, degree of solvation, the manner of tertiary arrangement and by the crystal packing; the crystal and molecular structure of this complex is established by X-ray structure analysis.
