Synthetic routes to lithium, magnesium, and zinc aluminyl complexes are reported, allowing for the first structural characterization of an unsupported lithium-aluminium bond. Crystallographic and quantum-chemical studies are consistent with the presence of ah ighly polar Li À Al interaction, characterized by al ow bond order and relatively little charge transfer from Al to Li. Comparison with magnesium and zinc aluminyl systems reveals changes to both the MÀAl bond and the (NON)Al fragment (where NON = 4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylanilido)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene), consistent with am ore covalent character,w ith the latter complex being shown to react with CO 2 via ap athway that implies that the zinc centre acts as the nucleophilic partner.

“…[9, 10e, 13, 14] Of systems reported to date,o nly two are accessible as separated ion pairs featuring the effectively "naked" aluminyl anion, with the K + cation having been sequestered by the use of ac ryptand or crown ether ligand.

“…[15] More recently Hill and co-workers have used as imilar approach to differentiate between nucleophilic and electrophilic copper centres in copper aluminyl systems featuring different supporting ligand sets.

[15,17] In this case,h owever, the product could not be crystallized-potentially due to the prescence of excess carbodiimide-and so the corresponding reaction with carbon dioxide was targeted in order to provide easier purification and access to definitive structural data.

Synthetic routes to lithium, magnesium, and zinc aluminyl complexes are reported, allowing for the first structural characterization of an unsupported lithium–aluminium bond. Crystallographic and quantum‐chemical studies are consistent with the presence of a highly polar Li−Al interaction, characterized by a low bond order and relatively little charge transfer from Al to Li. Comparison with magnesium and zinc aluminyl systems reveals changes to both the M−Al bond and the (NON)Al fragment (where NON=4,5‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylanilido)‐2,7‐di‐tert‐butyl‐9,9‐dimethylxanthene), consistent with a more covalent character, with the latter complex being shown to react with CO2 via a pathway that implies that the zinc centre acts as the nucleophilic partner.

We report herein the synthesis,characterization, and coordination chemistry of af ree N-aluminylene,n amely ac arbazolylaluminylene 2b.T his species is prepared via ar eduction reaction of the corresponding carbazolyl aluminium diiodide.T he coordination behavior of 2b towards transition metal centers (W,C r) is shown to affordaseries of novel aluminylene complexes 3-6 with diverse coordination modes.W edemonstrate that the tri-active ambiphilic Al center in 2b can behave as:1 .as-donating and doubly p-accepting ligand;2 .a s-donating, s-accepting and p-accepting ligand; and 3. a s-donating and doubly s-accepting ligand. Additionally,w es how ligand exchange at the aluminylene center providing access to the modulation of electronic properties of transition metals without changing the coordinated atoms. Investigations of 2b with IDippCuCl (IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) show an unprecedented aluminylene-alumanyl transformation leading to ar are terminal Cu-alumanyl complex 8.The electronic structures of such complexes and the mechanism of the aluminylenealumanyl transformation are investigated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations.[**] Aprevious version of this manuscript has been deposited on apreprint server (https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/articledetails/61205bc21d1cc23402c90876).
