A series of group 1 hydrocarbon-soluble donor free aluminates [AM( BuDHP)(TMP)Al( Bu) ] (AM=Li, Na, K, Rb) have been synthesised by combining an alkali metal dihydropyridyl unit [(2- BuC H N)AM)] containing a surrogate hydride (sp C-H) with [( Bu) Al(TMP)]. These aluminates have been characterised by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. While the lithium aluminate forms a monomer, the heavier alkali metal aluminates exist as polymeric chains propagated by non-covalent interactions between the alkali metal cations and the alkyldihydropyridyl units. Solvates [(THF)Li( BuDHP)(TMP)Al( Bu) ] and [(TMEDA)Na( BuDHP)(TMP)Al( Bu) ] have also been crystallographically characterised. Theoretical calculations show how the dispersion forces tend to increase on moving from Li to Rb, as opposed to the electrostatic forces of stabilization, which are orders of magnitude more significant. Having unique structural features, these bimetallic compounds can be considered as starting points for exploring unique reactivity trends as alkali-metal-aluminium hydride surrog[ATES].
通过将含有替代氢化物(sp³ C-H)的碱金属二氢吡啶基单元[(2-BuC₅H₄N)AM)]与[(Bu)₂Al(TMP)]相结合,合成了一系列第1组烃溶性无供体铝酸盐[AM(BuDHP)(TMP)Al(Bu)](AM = Li、Na、K、Rb)。这些铝酸盐已通过X射线晶体学和核磁共振光谱进行了表征。虽然锂铝酸盐形成单体,但较重的碱金属铝酸盐以聚合物链的形式存在,这些聚合物链通过碱金属阳离子与烷基二氢吡啶基单元之间的非共价相互作用而扩展。溶剂化物[(THF)Li(BuDHP)(TMP)Al(Bu)]和[(TMEDA)Na(BuDHP)(TMP)Al(Bu)]也已通过晶体学进行了表征。理论计算表明,与稳定化静电力相比,从Li到Rb时色散力倾向于增加,而稳定化静电力的量级要大得多。这些双金属化合物具有独特的结构特征,可被视为探索作为碱金属 - 铝氢化物替代物的独特反应趋势的起点。
