### Cyclopropenyl Chloride Reaction with Aluminum Chloride

#### Reaction Description
Cyclopropenyl chloride reacts with the Lewis acid aluminum chloride in nitromethane (solvent) at -50°C to give the compound A, C₃H₃AlCl₄, as a white solid. A nitromethane solution of A exhibits a single proton NMR peak at 11.2 ppm. The task is to draw the structure of A.

#### Chemical Equation
\[
\text{Cyclopropenyl chloride} \; \left( \text{C}_3\text{H}_3\text{Cl} \right) \; + \; \text{AlCl}_3 \rightarrow \; \text{C}_3\text{H}_3\text{AlCl}_4 \; (\text{A}) 
\]
**Solvent:** Nitromethane, **Temperature:** -50°C

#### Guidelines for Drawing Structures
- **Draw cations and anions in separate sketchers.**
- **Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.**

Below the description is an interactive ChemDoodle sketcher interface that allows you to draw the molecular structures. 

#### Structure Drawing Interface
The interface includes several tools:

- **Drawing Tools:** Selection, Lasso, Eraser, Undo, Redo.
- **Atoms:** Periodic table for atom selection.
- **Bonds:** Single, double, triple bonds.
- **Additional Options:** Charge symbols, ring templates, stereochemistry tools.
- **Miscellaneous:** Text insertion, zoom, and help features.
  
In the sketcher, you will need to draw the structure of compound A considering the chemical reaction described and the given NMR data.

#### Interpretation of NMR Data
The single proton NMR peak at 11.2 ppm suggests a highly deshielded proton, often indicative of proton environments in the vicinity of strong electron-withdrawing groups or in pi systems like aromatic protons.

### Summary
The goal is to draw the structure of the product (A) obtained from the reaction between cyclopropenyl chloride and aluminum chloride in nitromethane at a low temperature. Use the sketcher to represent the compound according to the instructions and ensure accurate representation of cationic and anionic species, separated appropriately.

### Note:
This procedure aims to reinforce the understanding of organometallic reactions
