A tetraorganyl-alumaborane ( 3 ) that contains an Al–B bond and twisted Al and B planes was synthesized and structurally characterized. UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical measurement, and DFT calculations were employed to reveal the electronic properties of 3 . The reactivity of 3 toward DMSO and CO was studied to demonstrate its deoxygenating abilities. On the basis of the results of the DFT calculations, a detailed reaction mechanism was developed, which highlighted the important role of the distinct Lewis acidity of the group-13 elements Al and B in 3 .
