Abstract:Although a number of oxo-bridged trinuclear transition metal complexes have been synthesised and investigated in recent decades, comparable aluminum compounds have received much less attention. The {Al3(μ3-O)}7+ carbamate complexes [Al3(μ3-O)(OOC-pyrr)6(pyrrH)3]+[Cl]-...

The literature on aluminum coordination networks so far contains data on COO-bridged derivatives exclusively. This paper addresses the question whether or not aluminum complexes, especially carbamate-bridged {Al3(μ3−O)}7+ units, can also form networks via the neutral ligand positions. Our findings show that a highly unexpected polymerization of the aluminum carbamates can occur during the isolation of the initially targeted compound. Although bidentate ligands bind to the neutral ligand coordination sites as expected, they do not act as linker molecules but cause an uncontrolled networking via the carbamate ligands. One- and two-dimensional solution and solid-state NMR experiments were primarily used to investigate the coordination behavior of the ligands and to elucidate the actual obtained product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
