Abstract
Abstract Reaction of Al(C6F5)3 with 0.34 equiv CH2Cl2 cleanly produces chlorobis(pentafluorophenyl)alane (C6F5)2AlCl, the dimeric structure in the solid-state of which has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. This chloroalane exhibits remarkable activity in polymerizations of styrene, e-caprolactone, and cyclohexene oxide.
