Synthesis and structure of [{MeAl(μ-PMes)(PMes)}2Li4]2·7thf, containing a [MeAl(μ-PMes)(PMes)]24− tetraanion (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2)

Abstract

The reaction of MeAlCl2 with MesPHLi (1∶4 equivalents) in thf/toluene gives the cage complex [{MeAl(μ-PMes)(PMes)}2Li4]2·7thf (1), containing an [{MeAl(μ-PMes)(PMes)}2]4− tetraanion which is valence-isoelectronic with extensively studied Group 15 anions of the type [E(μ-NR)(NR)]22−
