Re. Allan et al., BUILDUP OF AN AL4P6LI4 CAGE FROM AN AL4N4 CUBANE - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF (C6H11)])(2)(MU-P(C6H11))](2)CENTER-DOT-C(6)H(5)ME, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (22), 1996, pp. 4153-4154
The acid-base reaction of the Al-III imido cubane [AlMe(Nmes)](4) (mes
= 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)) with Li[PH(C6H11)] yielded the heterobimetalli
c cage complex [Li(OC4H8)](4)- [{(AlMe)[mu-P(C6H11)]}(2){mu-P(C6H11)}]
(2) . C(6)H(5)Me, the metallacyclic tetraanion of which is the first e
xample of an. Al-III phosphinidine anion.
