The crystal structure of dimethyl (methylthiol) aluminum,[(CH3) 2A1SCH3]„, has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data measured by counter methods.[(CH3) 2A1SCH3]„crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with cell dimensions a= 25.679 (7) A, b= 7.942 (2) A, and c= 12.004 (3) A. The calculated density of 1.13 g cm-3 for 16 (CH3) 2A1SCH3 units per unit cell compares well with the observed density of 1.14±0.03 g cm-8. Three-dimensional least-squares refinement gave a conventional weighted R factor of 3.9% for 445 reflections. In the solid state,[(CH3) 2AlSCH3] n is a one-dimensional infinite polymer with methylthiol groups bridging dimethylaluminum groupsto form zigzag infinite chains. The bridging sulfur atoms are in a pyramidal configuration. Theaverage Al-S bond length is 2.348 (2) A, the average Al-C bond distance is 1.944 (7) A, and the CS bond length is 1.806 (7) Á. The Al-S-Al'angle is 103.0 (1), and the S-Al-S'angle is 100.1 (1).It is well known that alkyls, halogens, 3 secondary amines, secondary phosphines, 4 secondary arsines, 5 and alcohols4’6 form finitepolynuclear compounds with trimethylaluminum. When large, bulky groups are co-ordinated to the aluminum atom, monomeric species can be stabilized as in triisobutylaluminum. 6 Some-what smaller steric requirements result in dimeric com-
