title: (3-{[2,6-Bis(1-methyl-eth-yl)phen-yl]imino-κN}-1-phenyl-but-1-en-1-olato-κO)-di-methyl-aluminium.
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Al(CH(3))(2)(C(22)H(26)NO)], displays a monomer with the Al(III) atom in a distorted tetra-hedral environment defined by two methyl groups and the N and O atoms of the chelating ketiminate anion. The O-Al-N bite angle of the chelating ligand is 94.14 (9)°. The O-C-C-C-N backbone of the ligand is nearly coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.029 Å) and the Al atom deviates significantly from the mean plane by 0.525 (3) Å. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are observed.
