In this study, we present the molecular structures of six neutral Lewis acid-base adducts of the Lewis superacid Al(N(C6F5)(2))(3) and its higher homolog Ga(N(C6F5)(2))(3) with the electron pair donors MeCN, CNtBu, THF and PMe3. The crystal structures reveal crucial structural changes compared to the free Lewis acids as a consequence of the adduct formation. Furthermore, we calculated the corresponding dissociation enthalpies of the adducts, which are considerably lower compared to the values for the formation of the anionic fluoride or chloride metallates.
Herein we present the molecular structures of six neutral Lewis acid-base adducts of the Lewis superacid Al(N(C6F5)(2))(3) and its higher homolog Ga(N(C6F5)(2))(3) with the electron pair donors MeCN, CNtBu, THF and PMe3. The crystal structures reveal crucial structural changes compared to the free Lewis acids as a consequence of the adduct formation. Furthermore, we calculated the corresponding dissociation enthalpies of the adducts which lie between 69 and 141 kJ mol(-1) and are therefore considerably lower compared to the values for the formation of the anionic fluoride or chloride metallates.
