Abstract:
Mixtures of AlX 3 (X=Cl, Br) with 1‐butylimidazole (BuIm) in various ratios were investigated. The mixtures were characterized by multinuclear ( 1 H, 27 Al, 13 C, and 15 N) NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy and in part by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Depending on the molar fraction x (AlBr 3 ) of the AlBr 3 ‐based mixtures, the cationic aluminum complexes [Al(BuIm) 6 ] 3+ and [AlBr 2 (BuIm) 4 ] + , the neutral adduct [AlBr 3 (BuIm)], as well as the anions Br − , [AlBr 4 ] − , and [Al 2 Br 7 ] − could be identified as the products of the symmetric and asymmetric cleavage of dimeric Al 2 Br 6 . Furthermore, there are hints at the formation of [AlBr 2 (BuIm) 2 ] + or related cations. Comparison of the AlBr 3 /BuIm system with AlCl 3 ‐based mixtures revealed the influence of the halide: In contrast to AlBr 3 , the trication [Al(BuIm) 6 ] 3+ could not be detected as main product in a 1:6 mixture of AlCl 3 and BuIm. Additionally, [AlCl 3 (BuIm)] crystallizes from a mixture with x (AlCl 3 )=0.60 at room temperature, whereas the corresponding AlBr 3 ‐based mixture remains liquid even at +6 °C. Three AlBr 3 ‐based mixtures are liquid at room temperature, whereas all other mixtures are solids with melting points between 46 and 184 °C. The three liquid mixtures exhibit medium to high viscosities (117 to 〉 1440 mPa s), low conductivities (0.03–0.20 mS cm −1 ), but high densities (1.80–2.21 g cm −3 ). Aluminum could be successfully deposited from one of the neat Lewis acidic mixtures of the AlBr 3 ‐based system.
