Bidentate chelates with larger spacers: Chelating Lewis acids prepared by double hydroalumination of dialkynylsilanes

Tuesday, November 8, 2011 - 11:00 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Molecular oligoacceptors (chelating Lewis acids) are interesting compounds that are potentially applicable in phase-transfer processes, catalysis, or molecular recognition. Compounds with two or more coordinatively unsaturated tricoordinate aluminum or gallium atoms in a single molecule are particularly suitable for use as inverted chelating ligands.
