A predominantly plannar Al3N3C6 core characterizes the structure of 1, the first trimeric iminoalane. The bond length equalization suggests a delocalization of the π-electrons and thus an analogy to borazoles. 1 is formed in a two-step reaction from AlMe3 and 2,6-diisopropylaniline with cleavage of methane. Aryl = 2,6-iPr2C6H3.
