Abstract
Sodium tetracaprolactamatoaluminate (I) exists in benzene solution predominantly as a dimer. Its structure was proposed on the basis of molecular weight studies, infrared, and 1H NMR spectra of sodium isobutylcaprolactamatoaluminates (II). Two modes of dimerization are supposed: an eight-membered cyclic caprolactam bridge between two aluminum atoms or the coordination of the caprolactam ligands belonging to two different aluminum atoms to one sodium atom.
