Abstract

The synthesis of the aluminum carbide clusters (AlH)6(AlNMe3)2(CCH2C5H4FeC5H5)6 (1), containing an assembly of ferrocenylmethylene substituents, and (AlH)6(AlNMe3)2(CCH2Ph)6 (2) was carried out by the hydroalumination of FcC ≡ CH (Fc = ferrocenyl) and (Ph C ≡ C)3Al·NMe3, respectively, with AlH3·NMe3. Compound 1 is made up of an Al-C framework with eight aluminum atoms occupying the corners of a rhombic cube while the six carbon atoms cap the faces of the cube. The reaction of (AlH)6(AlNMe3)2(CCH2Ph)6 (2) with FcC ≡ CH and PhCCH leads to the formation of (AlH)2(FcC ≡ CAl)4(AlNMe3)2(CCH2Ph)6 (3) and (PhC≡ C)3Al·NMe3 (4), respectively. Reaction of 4 with AlH3.NMe3 results in the formation of 2.
