dc.description.abstractThe reaction of AlMe3 with tBuLi in the presence of trimethylacetonitrile affords the bimetallic complex [tBu(Me)Al(μ-Me)2Li·NC(tBu)]∞ (1). Pseudotetrahedral Al centers form by the nucelophilic addition of tBuLi to AlMe3.The alkali-metal center is stabilized through coordination of the unreacted nitrile and polymer formation via the construction of Al(μ-Me)nLi (n = 1, 2) motifs. Neutron diffraction evidences agostic interactions in the bridging methyl group to give further stabilization. There is only one previous report of a neutron structure of a lithium aluminate compound. This work therefore offers an important structural example of agostic interactions and the precise nature of Al(μ-Me)2Li bridging.© 2014, American Chemical Society.en_AU
