A silanetriol and organoaluminum compounds react smoothly to give aluminosilcates of the type shown, which are soluble in organic solvents. Their cubeshaped Al4Si4O12 groups represent the smallest building blocks of zeolite A. Perhaps compounds of this type will be used in the near future in rational solid-state syntheses under mild conditions. R1 = (2,6-iPr2C6H3)(SiMe3)N, R2 = 1,4-dioxane, THF, alkyl group.
