The optimized geometry of the monomer Al(CH3)3 is of C3h symmetry, whew that of the dimer [Al(CH3)3]2 contains a carbon-bridged four-membered ring structure with C2h symmetry. The hydrogen-bridged six-membered ring structure is found to be unstable. The calculated dimerization energy for the four-membered ring structure is 78 kJ/mol, in close proximity to the experimental due of 85.27 kJ/mol.展开更多
