The adduct free Lewis superacid Al(OCAr F 3 ) 3 was obtained by the reaction of Ar F 3 COH with AlEt 3 and fully characterized (Ar F = C 6 F 5 ). It comprises a high thermal stability up to 180 °C and a distinct reactivity towards Lewis bases, as exemplified by the isolation of the neutral adducts A...

Description
Summary:The adduct free Lewis superacid Al(OCAr F 3 ) 3 was obtained by the reaction of Ar F 3 COH with AlEt 3 and fully characterized (Ar F = C 6 F 5 ). It comprises a high thermal stability up to 180 °C and a distinct reactivity towards Lewis bases, as exemplified by the isolation of the neutral adducts Al(OCAr F 3 )·D (D = MeCN, THF, Et 2 O, pyridine, OPEt 3 ), the fluoride complexes [Q][FAl(OCAr F ) 3 ] (Q + = Cs + , Ag + , Tl + , [S(NMe 2 ) 3 ] + , [Ph 3 C] + , Li + , [NBu 4 ] + , [FeCp 2 ] + ) and the chloride complex [Ph 3 C][ClAl(OCAr F ) 3 ]. Al(OCAr F 3 ) 3 (Ar F = C 6 F 5 ) - a readily accessible, adduct free and highly stable Lewis superacid with an extreme fluoride ion affinity to store in your glove box!
