Abstract

In a recent issue of Nature, Zhang and Liu show that carbazolylaluminylene can function as an aluminum-based catalyst to enable the reversible Al(I)/Al(III) redox catalytic cycle for Reppe cyclotrimerization. The catalyst’s success arises from the dynamic nitrogen geometry within the carbazolyl ligand, which modulates the aluminum coordination environment and lowers the activation barriers of key steps.

铝氧化还原催化，终于实现了

在最近一期的《自然》杂志上，Zhang和Liu表明，咔唑铝炔可以作为铝基催化剂，实现Reppe环三聚化的可逆Al(I)/Al（III）氧化还原催化循环。催化剂的成功源于咔唑基配体内动态氮的几何结构，它调节了铝的配位环境，降低了关键步骤的激活障碍。
