description: (AlCH3OCl2)3Al3C2H7(OCl2)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Al3C2H7(OCl2)3 clusters and two AlCH3OCl2 clusters. In each Al3C2H7(OCl2)3 cluster, there are three inequivalent Al3+ sites.

There is one shorter (1.83 Å) and one longer (1.84 Å) Al–O bond length. Both Al–Cl bond lengths are 2.12 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to two O2- and two Cl1- atoms to form AlCl2O2 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CH3O tetrahedra and corners with two AlCl2O2 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and one longer (1.83 Å) Al–O bond length. There are one shorter (2.11 Å) and one longer (2.12 Å) Al–Cl bond lengths.
