Abstract

The crystal structures of Et3N and Pri3N were determined by X-ray analysis using the in situ crystallization technique for single crystal growth on the diffractometer; both have a pyramidal configuration of the nitrogen atom, even Pri3N, which was considered to be planar in accord with electron diffraction and NMR data.
