The first polyhedral aluminum subhalide Al Br ⋅20 L forms in the disproportionation of aluminum(I) bromide solutions. The cluster is built up from an Al icosahedron with ten exohedrally bound (formally divalent) Al atoms (see structure). Such a homoatomic framework is unknown for molecular compounds. Even for the element boron this framework is only found as a section from the β-rhombohedral element modification.
