[(E)-10-(2,6-Dimethylphenylimino)-9-methyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-olato]pentamethyldialuminum(III)

The two Al atoms in the title compound, [Al2(CH3)5(C23H20NO)], are four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral environment. The coordination of one Al atom includes three methyl-C atoms and the O atom from the ligand, whereas the second Al atom is surrounded by the O atom and one N atom from the ligand as well as by two methyl-C atoms. In the ligand, the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings in the 9,10-dihydrophenanthren unit is 20.64 (12)°.
