Abstract
Gas-phase electron diffraction data of CpAl = (C(5)Me(5))AL, Me = CH3 , recorded with reservoir and nozzle temperatures of 139 +/- 4 degrees C, show that the gas consists of monomeric (eta(5)-Cp)Al units. Leas t-squares refinements of a molecular model of C-5v symmetry yield the bond distances AI-C = 238.8(7), C-C(endocyclic) = 141.4(5), and C-C(ex ocyclic) = 152.9(5) pm and a perpendicular metal-to-ring distance of 2 06.3(9) pm.
