%X Some complexes of triphenylaluminium with ethers, amines, and benzonitrile are described. Proton magnetic resonance spectrometry and ebulliometry have been used to study equilibria of the type:       Basex ? Ph3Al.Basey Ph3Al.Basex + Basey.   Such equilibria may be attained at measurably slow rates, and catalysis by added ether has been observed in the case, Basex = Basey = triethylamine. The favoured mechanism for displacement is analogous to the SN2 reaction at a saturated carbon atom.
