Sodium and potassium tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)aluminate are synthesized by reaction of sodium or potassium with bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury and tris(trimethylsilyl)aluminium. Sodium and potassium tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)aluminate complexes, coordinated with diethylether, tetrahydrofurane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane are available by dissolving the unsolvated compounds in the ethers. The IR, Raman, 1H and 13C NMR spectra are discussed.
