Notes:
Crystal and molecular structures of three Al(III) complexes of the tripod ligand 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenolate (I) are presented. They all show 5-coordinate Al in approximately trigonal bipyramidal geometry, with an external nucleophile X occupying the second axial position. X is OH- in[Al(I)(OH)]-[Hquin]+ (quin = quinuclidine), N in [Al(I)(py)] (py = pyridine), and one of the O-atoms of a second molecule in the dimeric [(Al(I))2]. Correlated variations in the axial bond lengths of the trigonal bipyramid are observed: [(Al(I))2]: Al-Nint. = 2.094 Å, Al-Oext. = 1.850 Å; [Al(I)(py)]: Al-Nint. = 2.153 Å, Al-Next., = 1.992 Å; [Al(I)(OH)]-: Al-Nint. = 2.278 Å, Al-Oext. = 1.765 Å. They are interpreted in terms of a dissociative reaction path at the Al(III) centre.
