Abstract
Abstract Tetraisocyanatogermanium reacts with trimethylaluminum upon heating to 50° to form the acetonitrile adduct of trimethylaluminum, (CH 3 ) 3 Al·NCCH 3 . The crystal structure of acetonitriletrimethylaluminum has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data measured by counter methods. (CH 3 ) 3 Al·NCCH 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with cell dimensions a = 6.617(3), b = 7.821(4), c = 16.135(7) A, and ϱ calc = 1.05 g/cm 3 for Z = 4. Least-squares refinement gave a final weighted R value of 9.5% for 430 independent reflections. The behavior of the Ge(NCO) 4 /Al(CH 3 ) 3 system is related to that of KSCN and Al(CH 3 ) 3 .
