| Description | Alumazene, [2,6-(i-Pr)2C6H3NAlMe]3, is the only known trimeric iminoalane. Its high reactivity stems from the polar Al-N bonds and a low delocalization of the pi electrons in the ring. We studied the mild dealkylsilylation reaction of alumazene with a variety of trimethylsiloxy compounds of silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur with the aim of obtaining new polycyclic and polyhedral derivatives. During these studies we also prepared adducts of phosphine oxides and other Lewis bases with alumazene and established their molecular structures. |
