The reactivity of copper-alumanyl complexes is dependent on the identity of the carbene co-ligand, suggesting an ambiphilicity in the Cu-Al interaction. This divergent reactivity with carbodiimides and CO2 implies a complex relationship between the two metals in the complex.
Copper-alumanyl complexes, [LCu-Al(SiNDipp)], where L=carbene=NHCiPr (N,N '-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-2-ylidene) and (Me2)CAAC (1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) and featuring unsupported Al-Cu bonds, have been prepared. Divergent reactivity observed with carbodiimides and CO2 implies an ambiphilicity in the Cu-Al interaction that is dependent on the identity of the carbene co-ligand.
