Key Points

The dication exhibits significant Lewis acidic reactivity, altering the properties of the substrate upon treatment.
Key evidence includes the formation of [{(F3C)3CO}Al{4-MePhCHO}5]2+ and balanced charge with two [Al{OC(CF3)3}4]- anions.
Synthesis involved a unique method to stabilize the dication using five aldehyde ligands, showcasing innovative approaches in coordination chemistry.
The findings highlight potential applications for aluminium dications in catalysis, suggesting new paths for future research.

Abstract

Synthesis, structure and Lewis acidic reactivity of a perfluoro-tert-butoxyaluminium dication stabilised by five aldehyde ligands [{(F3C)3CO}Al{4-MePhCHO}5]2+, and charge-balanced by two [Al{OC(CF3)3}4]- anions is presented here. Treating the dication with Et3SiH...
