摘要Treatment of indolyl-3-aldimines (3-tBuN=CH)C8H5NH with AlMe3 afforded the deprotonated indolyl aluminum complex cis-[(μ-η1:η1-3-tBuN=CH)C8H5NAlMe2]2, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group P21212 with a = 14.590(9), b = 15.860(2), c = 13.266(8) Å, μ = 0.118 mm-1, Mr = 512.64, V = 3069.5(3) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.109 g/cm3, F(000) = 1104, R = 0.0451 and wR = 0.0937 for 4978 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In addition, the title compound exhibited a high catalytic activity toward the addition of amines to carbodiimide to form guanidines..
