Cationic dialanes with fluxional π-bridged cyclopentadienyl ligands

Abstract

Unique π-cyclopentadienyl bridged dialanes are synthesized as complex salts with aluminate anions by comproportionation of aluminocenium cations [AlIII(Cp)(Cp*)]+/[AlIIICp2]+ with [(AlICp*)4]. Very short Al–Al bond lengths occur in positively charged Al24+ fragments. Intriguingly, the prepared asymmetric dialane shows a unique fluxional coordination of the cyclopentadienyl ligands.
