New Aluminum Complexes with an Asymmetric Amidine-Imine Ligand: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application in Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a new asymmetric amidine-imine ligand, using 1,8-diaminonaphthalene as a rigid platform, was synthesized and characterized, and its ability to form complexes with aluminum(III) was investigated. Several aluminum complexes were synthesized and characterized in solution and in the solid state. The synthesis of a dihalogenated aluminum(III) complex (AlI₂L) using a reducing agent revealed an atypical pathway, which was investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The dimethylated aluminum complex AlMe₂L and the dihalogenated aluminum complex AlI₂L were evaluated as catalysts for the transformation of CO₂ and epoxides into cyclic carbonates in the presence of Bu₄NI as a co-catalyst or in a single-co
