Structure investigations of dichloroaluminum benzoates: an unprecedented example of a monomeric aluminum complex with a chelating carboxylate ligand

Inorg Chem. 2009 Dec 7;48(23):10892-4. doi: 10.1021/ic9016307.

Abstract

Dichloroaluminum benzoate and its adducts with Lewis bases show a large structural variety from molecular complexes to ionic species as indicated by X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic studies, and quantum-chemical calculations.
