A molecular aluminium fulleride

Abstract

The reaction of alumylene [(Dippnacnac)Al] (1) with C60 fashions the first example of a structurally characterised aluminium-fulleride complex, [{(Dippnacnac)Al}3C60] (2), in which the Al centres are covalently bound to significantly elongated 6 : 6 bonds. Hydrolysis of 2 yields C60H6 and the reaction of 2 with [{Mesnacnac)Mg}2] cleaved off the Al fragments by affording the fulleride [{Mesnacnac)Mg}6C60].
