PLATFORM UPDATE:
We report the divergent reactivities of a trisilyl-substituted alane and its radical anionic species towards isocyanides and carbon monoxide. While the neutral Al(III) species forms coordination complexes, Al(II) radical promotes cyanide formation. Notably, the radical anion mediates CO homologation to yield a C3 fragment, which provides new insight into main-group CO homologation.
To support increased transparency, we offer authors the option to publish the peer review history alongside their article.
