Activation of C–Cl by ground-state aluminum atoms: an EPR and DFT investigation

Abstract: The reaction of ground-state Al atoms with dichloromethane (CH(2)Cl(2)) in an adamantane matrix at 77 K yielded two mononuclear Al species. The magnetic parameters, extracted from the axial EPR spectrum of Species A/A' (g(1) = 2.0037, g(2) = g(3) = 2.0030, a(Al,1) = 1307 MHz, a(Al,2) = a(Al,3) = 1273 MHz, a(35Cl) = 34 MHz and a(37Cl) = 28 MHz) were assigned to the Al-atom insertion product, ClCH(2)AlCl. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the values of the Al and Cl hyperfine interaction (hfi) of t… Show more

“…Here, we report a study of nanoparticle production by dry milling aluminum in NH 3 and monomethylamine (MMA) atmospheres, and we compare the results to analogous milling experiments in H 2 , Ar, and N 2 . NH 3 and MMA were chosen because amines are known to bind to and react with aluminum surfaces. As shown below, nanoparticle production is more efficient in these gases than in reactive liquid milling agents, including alkylamines. Furthermore, the particle size distributions are narrower, without the large concentrations of micron scale particles seen for liquid agents.…”

“…Aluminum atoms activate a number of different bonds including C–H of CH 4 , OH of H 2 O, , SH of H 2 S, SeH of H 2 Se, NH of NH 3 and CpNH 2 , C–O of CH 3 OCH 3 , , C–Br of CpBr, C–Cl of CH 2 Cl 2 , C–N of CpNH 2 , and the H–Cl bond, , under cryogenic conditions, producing divalent mononuclear aluminum species. These aluminum atom insertion products are paramagnetic and have been characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.…”
