Can three bulky aryloxide substituents fit around a single aluminum center? That this is indeed possible is shown by the product Al(OAr * ) 3 1 (Ar * = 2,6‐ t Bu 2 ‐4‐MeC 6 H 2 ) of the reaction of HOAr * with LiAlH 4 . The 27 Al{ 1 H}NMR spectrum and the X‐ray structural analysis are in accord with a very electron‐rich three‐coordinate aluminum center.
