Alumazene adducts with acetonitrile: Structure and thermal stability

From polygons to polyhedra through intermediate structures. A shape measures study of six-atom inorganic rings and clusters

“…4), the 16 skeletal electrons in this case result in an allylic N-S-N group 4a with S-N distances of 1.56 Å, compared to 1.68 Å of the other two N-S bonds. Similarly, in the family of 34-electron alazanes with Al 3 N 3 rings and general formula (LAlR) 2 (AlR) (NR) 3 we find the envelope 58,59 and boat 60 (4b) conformations, with RN-Al(R)-NR allylic groups in both cases and distortions along the respective paths of 19-20%. Several bicyclic compounds of type 5 have been reported with a variety of p-block elements in the corners: B, Ga, Si, Ge, Sn, N, Bi and O.…”

Alumazene Reactivity with Quinolinols – Addition and Substitution Reactions on the Al3N3 Ring

“…5,6,38 Previous reactions of alumazene (1) were designed as reactions with N-or O-bases. [7][8][9][10] In the present case we use the ligands with the N-donor site and the acidic OH group. The proton is transferred to alumazene imidic nitrogen.…”

“…Several types of mono-, bis-, and trisadducts were reported in the literature. [7][8][9][10][11] Stepwise fluorination of alumazene 1 by Me 3 SnF or by BF 3 represents metathesis reactivity leading to the substitution of the methyl groups on aluminium. 12 Dealkylsilylation reactions of 1 with trimethylsilyl esters of sulfonic, phosphoric, and phosphonic acids are another type of alumazene reactivity.…”
