Triphen-yl(tetra-hydro-furan)-aluminium(III)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Al(C6H5)3(C4H8O)], the Al atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The C - Al - C angles range from 113.25 (7) to 116.27 (8)°, much larger than the O - Al - C angles, which range from 103.39 (7) to 103.90 (6)°. The tetra-hydro-furan ring adopts an envelope conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C - H⋯π inter-actions.
