The 13C NMR spectra of the ethylaluminium compounds [Al(C2H5)xCl3_x]2 x = 1, 1,5, 2 and 3 are presented and factors governing the temperature dependence of the line shape are discussed. The exchange reaction of terminal ethyl groups for chlorine ligands and ethyl ligands, resp., in ethylaluminium-sesquichloride was investigated by fitting the calculated line shapes to the observed spectra.
The energy of activation of this exchange process was determined as to be 12,3 ‡ 1,5 kcal/mole. The synthesis of 13C2-[Al(C2H5)Cl2]2 is described.
