The reactivity of dialkylalumanyl anion (1) towards naphthalene, anthracene, diphenylacetylene, and (E)/(Z)-stilbenes was investigated. The compound 1 reacts with naphthalene and anthracene through (1+4) cyclization, giving Al-containing norbornadiene derivatives. In the reaction of 1 with diphenylacetylene and (E)/(Z)-stilbenes, (1+2) cyclization proceeded to form Al-C-C three-membered rings. Cyclization toward (E)- or (Z)-stilbenes solely gave a trans-cycloadduct. DFT calculations revealed that the cycloaddition of 1 with (Z)-stilbene proceeds via a single transition state with a carbanion character, which results in the selectivity towards the trans-cycloadduct.

Article Synopsis
- A dimer consisting of a non-solvated alkyl-substituted Al(I) anion was created through a mechanochemical reduction of a haloalumane precursor.
- Analysis of its structure and electronic properties was conducted using crystallographic and theoretical methods.
- Experimental XPS results showed that lower Al 2p binding energy indicates a lower oxidation state of Al, and these findings were supported by delta SCF calculations, showing a linear correlation with NPA charges and 2p orbital energies.

The reaction between a dialkyl-substituted alumanyl anion and [Y(CH SiMe ) (thf) ][BPh ] resulted in the formation of (dialkylalumanyl)yttrium complex 2, which exhibits the first 2-center-2-electron (2 c-2 e) Al-Y bond. The H and C NMR spectra of 2 together with an X-ray crystallographic analysis indicated a C symmetrical structure. DFT calculations on 2 revealed that its LUMO consists of overlapping 3 p- and 4 d-orbitals of the Al and Y atoms, respectively, and that the HOMO-LUMO gap is narrow.
