Abstract

Herein we present the first example of a glycol-coordinated ε-Keggin Al₁₃ chloride (gl-ε-Al₁₃), which is the first chelated version since discovery of Al₁₃ in 1960. The molecular structure consists of [AlO₄Al₁₂(OH)₁₂(OC₂H₄OH)₁₂]Cl₇·H₂O units with chelating mono-anionic ethylene glycol units replacing one bridging and one terminal oxygen site.
