Abstract

The title complex, [Al(2)(CH(3))(4)(C(15)H(11)O)(2)], is dimeric bridged through the O atoms of the 9-anthracenemethano-late anions. Each Al atom is tetra-coordinated by two bridging O atoms from two different 9-anthracenemethano-late ligands and by two C atoms from two methyl groups, forming a distorted tetra-hedral environment. The average Al-O bond distance in the Al(2)O(2) core is 1.845 Å.
