title: A new type of asymmetric tridentate pyrrolyl-linked pincer ligand and its aluminum dihydride complexes.
abstract: The new pyrrolyl-linked pincer-type ligand, [C(4)H(2)NH(2-CH(2)NH(t)Bu)(5-CH(2)NMe(2))] (1), that has been employed conveniently in high yield by treatment of (2-t-butylaminomethyl)pyrrole with 1 equiv of formaldehyde and dimethylamine hydrochloride each in diethylether and its corresponding aluminum derivative, [C(4)H(2)N(2-CH(2)NH(t)Bu)(5-CH(2)NMe(2))]AlH(2) (2), that has been generated from Me(3)N.AlH(3) using diethylether as a solvent are described. Furthermore, reactions of 2 with 2 equiv of either 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione in diethylether or phenyl thioisocyanate in dichloromethane interestingly formed [C(4)H(2)N(2-CH(2)NH(t)Bu)(5-CH(2)NMe(2))]Al(PhCOCHCOPh)(2) (3) and [C(4)H(2)N(2-CH(2)NH(t)Bu)(5-CH(2)NMe(2))]Al(SCHNPh)(2) (4), respectively, following deprotonation or hydroalumination reaction kinetics under a dry nitrogen environment. All of the compounds have been subjected to the X-ray diffraction technique in the solid state as well as characterized by NMR spectra.
