Trapping an Unusual Pentacoordinate Carbon Atom in a Neutral Trialuminum Complex

13 May 2021, Version 2
Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

A neutral trialuminum complex incorporates a pentacoordinate carbon through a methylidene bridge linking the three metal atoms. The rigid electron-deficient Al3 core stabilizes the
hypercoordinate carbon atom resulting in the shortest equatorial Al–C distance reported for such systems.
