Abstract
Understanding and controlling facile reduction chemsitry is a key challenge in molecular main group chemistry. Herein, we report the divergent reduction chemistry of aluminium(III) hydrides supported by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Choice of reducing agent and NHC ligand are key, with Al(II) dialanes, Al(II) cations, asymmetric Al(II) dialanes and ligand exchange reactions all identitifed via NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction.
期刊介绍:
Dalton Transactions is a journal for all areas of inorganic chemistry, which encompasses the organometallic, bioinorganic and materials chemistry of the elements, with applications including synthesis, catalysis, energy conversion/storage, electrical devices and medicine. Dalton Transactions welcomes high-quality, original submissions in all of these areas and more, where the advancement of knowledge in inorganic chemistry is significant.
