title: Nd[Al(iPrO)4]3, a novel tetranuclear alkoxide forming merohedrally twinned crystals.
abstract: The new tetranuclear alkoxide hexa-mu(2)-isopropoxy-1:2kappa(4)O;1:3kappa(4)O;1:4kappa(4)O-hexaisopropoxy-2kappa(2)O,3kappa(2)O,4kappa(2)O-trialuminium(III) neodymium(III), [Nd[Al(C(3)H(7)O)(4)](3)], has a metal-oxygen NdAl(3)O(12) core which consists of four metal atoms arranged in an approximately planar triangular geometry. The central Nd atom is six-coordinated by O atoms and the Al atoms are four-coordinated by O atoms.
