摘要

The neutral radical (Me2-cAAC)2AlCl2(2) is stabilized by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (cAACs). Complex 2 was synthesized by reduction of the Me2-cAAC:→AlCl3(1) adduct with KC8in the presence of another equivalent of Me2-cAAC. The crystal structure of 2 shows that the Al−C bond lengths of the two carbenes bound to the Al center are considerably different, which is likely the result of intermolecular interactions. Quantum-chemical calculations from the gas phase give an equilibrium structure with identical Al−C bond lengths. Compound 2 exhibits monoradical character, which was confirmed by EPR measurements. A bonding analysis indicates that the unpaired electron resides mainly at the carbene carbon atoms. Compound 2 is an example for an unusual neutral Al radical.
