Abstract:
The Reactions of R 2 AlAlR 2 and R 2 InInR 2 with Benzoic Acid – Synthesis and Crystal Structure of R 2 Al(μ‐H)(μ‐O 2 CC 6 H 5 )AlR 2 and RIn(μ‐O 2 CC 6 H 5 ) 4 InR [R CH(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] Tetrakis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]dialane(4) 1 reacts with benzoic acid by the oxidative cleavage of the AlAl bond: The Al atoms are inserted into the OH bond of the acid and the proton is reduced to a hydride anion. As shown by a crystal structure determination, the product 4 shown an unprecedented structure with both dialkylaluminium fragments unsymmetrically bridged by the hydrogen atom and a benzoato group. 4 can be described as a model compound for the first step of the hydrolysis of compounds with low‐valent Al atoms as well as elemental aluminium itself. The diindane(4) analogue of 1 ( 2 ) and benzoic acid yield, however, elemental indium and mixed alkyl benzoato indium derivatives, from which bis(trimethylsilyl)methyldi(benzoato)indium 9 has been characterized by a crystal structure determination. 9 consists of a dimer with a remarkable cage structure, in which both monoalkylindium groups are interconnected by four benzoato‐O,O′ bridges.
