A distorted tetrahedral environment , a bond length typical for terminal AlC bonds, and unusually small AlN distances characterize the cation 1 , which is formed on addition of AlCl 3 to the corresponding chloride. The AlN distances show that Lewis acid‐base interactions are required for the stabilization of a dialkylaluminum ion.
