Abstract

The synthesis and structure of a dimeric aluminium hydroxide complex containing the novel chelating 1,4-disiloxide ligand [CH(2){Me(Me(3)Si)(2)Si}(2)SiO](2)(2-) (2)-2H is reported. [CH(2){Me(Me(3)Si)(2)Si}(2)SiO](2)AlOH (4) was prepared by careful hydrolysis of [CH(2){Me(Me(3)Si)(2)Si}(2)SiO](2)AlMe·THF (3).
