Aluminoxane

Aluminoxanes are organoaluminium compounds with the formula [RAlO]m[R2AlO0.5]n[R2AlOH]o, where R = organic substituent.

The following structural rules apply: Al is tetrahedral and O is three-coordinate.

Aluminoxanes serve as activators for catalytic olefin polymerisation, such as the Ziegler–Natta catalyst.

Aluminoxane, appearing as white solids, are encountered as solutions.
