Molecular structures of two compounds obtained in reactions of alumazene [DippNAlMe] 3 (1, Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr 2 C 6 H 3) with substituted quinolinols have been elucidated by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Quinolin-8-ol (Hq) provides a dinuclear complex [(DippNH) 2 Al 2 Me 2 (q) 2 ] (2) with a central Al 2 O 2 ring and five-coordinate Al atoms. The compound 2. THF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The molecular structure of a mononuclear complex [(DippNH)Al(Meq) 2 ] (3) obtained in the reaction of 1 with 2-methylquinolin-8-ol (HMeq) possesses a five-coordinate Al center. The structure was solved in a triclinic cell P−1. The dinuclear complex 2 can be considered as a model product of alcohol addition on the formal Al−N double bond, while the mononuclear complex 3 represents subsequent reaction of remaining Al−Me moiety with proton. Both complexes 2 and 3 are highly luminescent showing emission around 500 nm in solid state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
