Abstract

Abstract : Cp*Al reacts with diphenylacetylene to form a Cp*-substituted 1, 4-dialuminacyclohexene, which mediates the coupling of isonitriles to form a new zwitterionic diamide ligand with a carbocationic backbone. Abstract : Cp*Al reacts with diphenylacetylene to form a Cp*-substituted 1, 4-dialuminacyclohexene. The dialuminacyclohexene reacts with four equivalents of an isonitrile to couple the terminal carbon atoms, forming 6 new carbon–carbon bonds and resulting in a zwitterionic diamide ligand which contains a carbocationic backbone.
