SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX [La(Ph <sub>3</sub>CCOO)(AlMe <sub>4</sub>) <sub>2</sub>] <sub>2</sub>
A new mixed carboxylate-aluminate complex of lanthanum [La(Ph <sub>3</sub>CCOO)(AlMe <sub>4</sub>) <sub>2</sub>] <sub>2</sub> (1) was obtained by treatment [La(AlMe <sub>4</sub>) <sub>3</sub>] with Ph <sub>3</sub>CCOOH. The structures of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction.
