Aluminylation: a generalizable route towards low-valent aluminum under moderate conditions with controlled product nuclearity through precursor design
Key Points
The aim is to establish a method for synthesizing low-valent aluminum complexes with specific characteristics based on precursor design.
Utilized aluminylation technique
Examined substrate identity for reactivity
Analyzed aluminum speciation effects on product structure
Successfully produced low-valent aluminum complexes with controlled nuclearity
Demonstrated tunability in heterolepticity based on substrate variations
Abstract
Aluminylation enables redox-neutral access to low-valent aluminum complexes with nuclearity and heterolepticity tunable by substrate identity and Al( i ) speciation.
