The Al ion in N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylaminato)-aluminium(III), [Al(C
6H5N2O2)(3)], has distorted octahedral coordination defined by six O a
toms from three chelate ligands [Al-O = 1.875 (4)-1.894 (4) Angstrom].
In each ligand the phenyl ring nearly coincides with the plane of the
nitrosohydroxylaminato group.
