Triphenyl(tetrahydrofuran)aluminium(III)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Al(C6H5)3(C4H8O)], the Al atom has a distorted tetrahedral 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 tetrahydrofuran ring adopts an envelope conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H...π interactions.
