The title compound, [Al2K2(C2H6N)8(C4H8O)] n , formed during the sonochemical reaction between Al(NMe2)3 and sodium-potassium alloy in the presence of tetra-hydro-furan (THF). Its asymmetric unit has two inequivalent K(+) sites. One site is coordinated by a THF ligand, and crystallizes as a one-dimensional polymer with a backbone of catenated AlN2K rings. A twofold rotation axis bis-ects one K(+) site and the THF ligand; the second K(+) site is situated on an inversion centre, resulting in a pla ...[more]
