Abstract
Aluminum subhalides of the type Al22X20. 12L (X = Cl, Br; L = THF, THP) are the only known representatives of polyhedral aluminum subhalides and exhib it interesting multicenter bonding properties. Herein, we report on the syn thesis and structural investigation of the first chlorides of this type. Ad ditional investigations applying solid-state Al-27 NMR (MAS), XPS (of Al4Cp *(4) and Al22X20. 12L), and quantum chemical calculations shed more light u pon the structure of the molecules and possible Al modifications.
