RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Synthesis of tris(3-pyridyl)aluminate ligand and its unexpected stability against hydrolysis: revealing cooperativity effects in heterobimetallic pyridyl aluminates A1 García Romero, Álvaro A1 Martín Álvarez, José Miguel A1 Colebatch, Annie Louise A1 Plajer, Alex J. A1 Miguel San José, Daniel A1 Álvarez González, Celedonio Manuel A1 García Rodríguez, Raúl K1 Metallic anions K1 Aniones metálicos AB We report the elusive metallic anion [EtAl(3-py)3]− (3-py = 3-pyridyl) (1), the first member of the anionic tris(3-pyridyl) family. Unexpectedly, the lithium complex 1Li shows substantial protic stability against water and alcohols, unlike related tris(2-pyridyl)aluminate analogues. This stability appears to be related to the inability of the [EtAl(3-py)3]− anion to chelate Li+, which precludes a decomposition pathway involving Li/Al cooperativity.
