INOR 795 |
| A metalloligand, which contains a Lewis acid core due to the presence of an aluminium atom, has been synthesized. The reactive aluminium center is protected by means of steric hindrance provided by phosphine substituents. The latter also act as donor groups capable of binding electron rich transition metals such as Pt and Rh. We propose to use this strong affinity to force an interaction between the transition metal and the aluminium atom in our aim of creating heterobimetallic complexes where two metallic centers interact as Lewis acid vs. Lewis base. |
