A structural study of bis-(trimethylamine)alane, AlH3�2NMe3, by variable temperature X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations

The structure of AlH3·2NMe3 has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction over the range of 296-173 K. Over this temperature range a phase change is observed from Cmca to Pbcm where the methyl groups convert from a statistically disordered conformation to adopt a mutually eclipsed confor...
