In the title compound, [Al2(CH3)6(C21H28N2)], the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The Al—N bond lengths range from 2.089 (2) to 2.121 (2) Å. The four-coordinate environment of the Al atoms is defined by one piperazine N atom and three methyl ligands. The structure contains two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Both mol­ecules have almost the same conformation, except for the benzyl groups which show different rotations in the two mol­ecules. The independent mol­ecules are related to one another by a pseudorotation in combination with a translation along the a axis. Inter­molecular C—H...π contacts or stacking between the benzyl or phenyl rings are not observed.

Comment top

MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapour deposition) is a well known technique for growth of thin films of metals (Das et al., 2007). The purity of metallorganic precursors plays an important role in the technique (Aguero et al., 2005). Coordination is a good way to get the high purity of metallorganic precursors (Reier et al., 1988). So, we synthesized the title compound and found two independent molecules (Z' = 2) in the asymmetric unit of the cell (Brock & Dunitz, 1994; Steiner, 2000) (Fig.1). Conformational differences of the molecules are distinguished by opposite rotation of their benzyl moieties: in molecule 1 the π system of the benzyl ring approaches H22C of a methyl of Al1, whereas in molecule 2, the benzyl ring rotates towards the opposite Al4 to approach H51B of a methyl group. The main part of the molecules (piperazine, both trimethylaluminum and tert-butylphenyl) have almost identical conformation. Intermolecular C—H···π contacts and stacking between benzyl or phenyl rings could not be observed. In a b,c-projection of the unit cell, the main part of the independent molecules seem to be related via a twofold symmetry, the axis running along a at 3/4b and ca 1/2c. In the a,c-projection of the unit cell (Fig. 2) however, one can imagine that after rotation around the pseudo-rotation axis at c/2, a translation of ca 0.65 along the a axis is necessary to find the molecules at identical positions, except of the benzyl moieties. The presented structure is found to agree well with the majority of triclinic structures with Z' = 2 in respect to symmetry relation between the independent molecules. Only few examples were found to have pseudoinversion centers between independent molecules (Desiraju et al., 1991). In both molecules of the title compound, the ligand bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The four-coordinate environment of the Al atoms is completed by one N atom and three methyl ligands. The Al—N bond lengths range from 2.089 (2) Å to 2.121 (2) Å.

Experimental top

In the absence of oxygen and under anhydrous conditions, to a solution of 1-benzyl-4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)piperazine (1 mmol) in petroleum ether (2 mL) was added the solution of trimethylaluminum (2 mol/L) in petroleum ether (1 mL) and heated to reflux. The resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature and white solid was obtained. It was solved in the petroleum ether and evaporated in the N2 atmosphere. Then colourless block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained after several days, these were filtered off and washed with petroleum ether (yield 73%).

Refinement top

The H atoms were fixed geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances in the range of 0.93–0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom), or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
