CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF AN ALUMINIUM CLATHRATE EXHIBITING AN UNUSUAL TERTIARY ARRANGEMENT AND AN EXTRAORDINARY DEGREE OF SOLVATION

In the course of our study of aluminium complexes, a new complex with N-salicylidene-o-aminophenol (H 2 L) is isolated, which is unique because of its stereochemistry, degree of solvation, the manner of tertiary arrangement and by the crystal packing; the crystal and molecular structure of this complex is established by X-ray structure analysis.
