The title compound resulted from the partial hydrolysis of the reaction product of AICI3, 18-crown-6, and HCl(g) in nitrobenzene. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group PI with a = 13.344(2), b = 17.742(3), c = 18.318(3)Å, a = 68.69(1), β = 81.98(1), γ = 68.00(1)°, and Dc = 1.45g cm-3 for Z = 3. In the crystal structure the 2+ binuclear aluminum-containing cation is threaded through the crown ether with each aluminum atom coordinated to three crown ether oxygen atoms. The crystal is composed of alternating layers of cations, layers of anions, and bilayers of nitrobenzene molecules.
