title: 6-Benzyl-2-methyl-1,3-bis-(penta-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3,6,2-triaza-alumocane.
abstract: In the title compound, [Al(CH(3))(C(23)H(15)F(10)N(3))], the Al(III) atom is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by three N atoms from the tridentate amine and by one C atom of the methyl substituent. Further, there is a short intra-molecular Al⋯F contact [2.5717 (11) Å], leading to an overall distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment around Al(III).
