In the title compound, [Al(C16H14N2O2)(C3H7O)]·0.5CH2Cl2, the salen complex is monomeric and the dichlormethane solvent molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The central Al atom is fivefold coordinated and possesses a square-based pyramidal environment. The Al—OAlk(ipropyl) bond [1.7404 (14) Å] is much shorter than the Al—OAr(salen) bond lengths [1.7974 (15) and 1.8094 (14) Å]. The isopropyloxo group forms an intramolecular C—HN hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the complex molecules are linked by weak C—HO interactions.

In the title structure, [Ti2(C16H16N2O2)2O2]·2CHCl3, the Ti atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by the O,N,N′,O′ donor set of the salalen ligand and by two μ2-oxide O atoms, which bridge two Ti(salalen) fragments into a centrosymmetric dimeric unit. In the central Ti2(μ2-O)2 fragment, the metal–oxygen distances are significantly different [1.7962 (19) and 1.9292 (19) Å]. In the crystal, the chloroform molecule is anchored via an N—HCl and a bifurcated C—H(O,O) hydrogen bond. Slipped π–π stacking [shortest CC distance = 3.585 (4) Å] and C—Hπ interactions contribute to the coherence of the structure.
