title: Unexpected alkane elimination from cationic group 13 dialkyls in a reaction with a macrocyclic polyamine.
abstract: A macrocyclic polyamine 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, (Me3TACD)H formed thermally stable adducts with MMe3(M = Al, In). The reactions with cationic dialkyls [MR2]+directly provided cationic monoalkyls [(Me3TACD)MR]+under RH elimination. Reactions between [Li(Me3TACD)]2and Me2MCl gave chloro-bridged heterobimetallic adducts.
