Cationic aluminum hydride complexes: reactions of carbene–alane adducts with trityl-borate

Abstract

Reaction of (Idipp)AlH3 with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] in toluene affords the dimeric aluminum dication [((Idipp)AlH(μ-H))2][B(C6F5)4]22. In contrast, the reaction of (IBn)AlH3 with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] in bromobenzene gives a redistribution product, the salt of a monomeric dication [(IBn)2AlH][B(C6F5)4]24.
