The divergent reactions of β-diketiminato aluminum hydrides with organophosphoryl compounds are described. These reactions resulted in compounds containing Al–O/N–R units through three different coupling reactions.
A survey of recent theoretical treatments of Al–M bonds that activate CO2 is given, with an emphasis on extracting lessons to guide future studies.
Bimetallic aluminum complexes bearing β-pyridyl-enamino ligands were designed and synthesized. Efficient ring-opening polymerization of ε-CL was achieved by regulating the Al–Al distance and alkyl groups.
The bonding, and stability of various donor base-supported bis-(dichloro-aluminium) oxides are theoretically predicted along with first solid-state isolation of the cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC)-stabilized analogue (cAAC)Al(Cl2)-O-Al(Cl2)(cAAC).
Understanding electronic descriptor strengths and weaknesses can indicate applicability domains in machine learning approaches and foreshadow model limitations.
